| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Layout | **Full page** shows the community as a full-screen app. **Inside your theme** places it between your theme header and footer. |
| Default colour mode | Follow device, Light or Dark. Members can switch with the moon/sun button. |
| Logo | Choose an image from the media library. It is shown 32 pixels high in the top bar and at the top of emails. In dark mode the logo sits on a white plate so dark text stays readable. |
| Show the community name next to the logo | Turn off when your logo already contains the name. |
| Brand colour | Colour of buttons, links, highlights, space icons and email buttons. Choose one of 11 ready-made colours (SpaceBay blue, Green, Teal, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Pink, Red, Orange, Amber, Slate) or any custom colour; the preview shows how it looks. Very light colours are darkened slightly so white text on buttons stays readable. Light tints for dark mode are worked out automatically. The default is SpaceBay blue (`#3f22ff`). |
| Space icon colours | **One colour** shows every space icon in the brand colour. **Each space** uses the colour chosen for each space, and the space form then shows colour swatches. |
