Appearance
Appearance holds two per-user work preferences: the dashboard theme and the interface language. Both are saved in the browser you are working in — they never change what a learner sees, and on a new device or browser they start from the defaults again: the system theme, and whichever supported language your browser asks for (English if it asks for none of them).
Dashboard theme
The theme controls the dashboard — the visual expression of the administrative app for your account. Set it at /dashboard/settings/appearance.
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
light | Always the light theme |
dark | Always the dark theme |
system | Follows your operating system setting |
It is a work preference, not the identity of the content. Because it is saved in your browser, changing it affects only your own view — not your teammates and not your learners.
Interface language
Cursiva is available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The choice is per-user and applies to the dashboard and menus you work in.
- The language is saved in your browser, so each member can work in the language they prefer.
- It does not translate the content you author. Course text stays in whatever language you wrote it; only the surrounding interface follows this setting.
