Dark mode is here
The most requested appearance change we've ever had. Switch between light and dark anytime available to everyone on Dubsado 3.0. One deliberate exception: email previews and the form canvas stay light in both modes, because what renders there is your content in your colors.

A warmer palette throughout
The system moved from cool gray to warm cream. Backgrounds, panels, and buttons all shifted to softer tones that are easier on the eyes over a long workday. Nothing moved, same layout, same navigation.

Color is set intentionally
Color appears when something needs your attention instead: an unread message, an overdue invoice, a date waiting on approval. Less visual noise, faster scanning.

Status you can read at a glance
Every status pill now has its own icon shape, so paid, unpaid, in progress, closed, and overdue are distinguishable without relying on color alone.
Overdue is the one status that keeps color, so it still jumps out. Two status colors that previously failed contrast standards now pass, which makes status readable for everyone.

Softer tags, same colors
All ten tag colors kept their identity but now render as soft washes instead of saturated fills, so a busy project list reads quietly. Nothing to re-set, your saved tags are untouched.
What your clients see: no change
Public forms, contracts, schedulers, invoices, the client portal, and your outbound emails all look exactly the way you designed them.
This is one step in an ongoing refresh of the Dubsado interface, so you'll keep seeing small improvements over time.
