PackTrack provides both a light and dark mode view of your records. Many people prefer looking at a dark screen in daily use as it can help reduce eye strain. You may also just prefer a dark screen. Whatever your reasons, PackTrack makes it easy to customize your experience.

All of the functionality remains exactly the same no matter which mode you prefer. It’s also available across all roles: handler, trainer, and supervisor. Dark mode works great on phones too. It can even improve battery life (a little).

From the title bar (desktop)

If you’re using PackTrack on a computer, there’s a shortcut for switching between light and dark modes right on the title bar.

Your selected view mode is saved with your account and will be remembered when you next log in.

Note: Report previews continue to show with a white background.
