The profile menu and appearance
Your account at the far right of Duscode's top bar, covering your plan, Settings and Usage, the apps, help and problem reports, and Appearance with light or dark and ten colour themes.
Your account is the round avatar at the far right of the top bar: your photo, character or initials (your profile). Click it to open the menu below it. The menu's header shows your name, email and plan.
At the top of the menu are your name and email. If you have no name set, it shows the first part of your email. In the developer edition the top says Developer edition and Local build, no account needed.

Appearance
Appearance › shows its current setting next to it, such as Dark · Duscode. Its submenu has two groups, and a change applies at once while the menu stays open.
Mode: Match system, Light or Dark. Match system follows your computer's setting.
Colour theme: ten themes, each with a light and a dark version. A small swatch shows each one's surface and accent.
| Theme | Look |
|---|---|
| Duscode | Navy and champagne, the Duscode brand. Champagne marks only the one main action on a screen. |
| Graphite & Ember | Near-black graphite with a hot ember orange |
| Obsidian & Emerald | Deep green-black with emerald |
| Classic Blue | Duscode's original navy and electric blue |
| Midnight Violet | Ink-violet surfaces with a lavender accent |
| Fjord | Cool Nordic greys with an ice-blue accent |
| Dune | Warm sand with a clay accent |
| Paper | Warm off-white with ink accents, for long reading |
| Monochrome | Black, white and greys |
| High Contrast | WCAG AAA text and strong outlines, for the most legible screen |
New users start on Duscode in Dark. Your choice is saved in this browser and applied before the page appears, so there's no flash of the wrong theme. A theme changes surfaces, text and the accent, and the code editor follows it. Status colours keep their meaning in every theme: green for verified, amber for needs you, red for failed.
Settings → General has the same choices, with each theme as a larger swatch. Both show the same setting, so a change in one appears in the other.
Report a problem
Help › Report a problem opens an email to support@duscode.com. It's filled in with your Duscode version, your operating system and your browser, plus headings for what happened and what you expected. It includes nothing else from your machine: no code, keys or paths. Add what you think helps before you send it.
