Organisation settings - Ability to set colour of screen and fonts of display.

I would love to be able to adjust background colors and font colors. I find working for several hours in Xero leaves me with eye fatigue and headaches.

    Colour would be extremely beneficial in sorting companies and making the overall appearance a more relaxing interface experience.

    Ability to change the contrast of the text would be very helpful. Grey on white, which looks lovely from a design perspective, is not as practical to work with for hours at a time. Black on white causes less eye strain for some users, and I, like Stephen Press (comment below), find that I need to lean in and squint at the monitor. The option to choose contrast and font size would show Xero to be accessibility friendly, an important feature today.

    Hi as a video production company my 4K PC monitors are calibrated and I'm having a lot of trouble viewing Xero's website. The font you use is awful, I can hardly see it and I am having difficulty telling the difference between a 0 and a 9, not ideal in an accounts app. I am loving Xero as a product but I really need to see what I'm doing and it is very annoying having to lean in and squint at the monitor all the time.
    Is there a way to change it to make it clearer?
    Thanks

    Stephen

    Avoid gender bias by changing the use of the colours blue and pink, to show bank/credit card accounts on dashboard as either in credit (blue=traditionally male=good), or overdrawn (pink=traditionally female=bad). Unfortunately i see the pink a lot of late and i can't unsee the bias now...

    Very important for partially impaired sighted people.

    A client, a Paralympic Games medallist, has bad eyesight and the blue on white is difficult for him. The options for a dark mode or being able to change the colour and fonts would be very useful.

    This would be a godsend with multiple screens open - if i change the screen resolution larger it effects other programs I use.

    Having larger font when invoicing etc trying to check for wording - would be very helpful.

    Research has shown me that an increase in font size, amongst other measures, makes reading easier for dyslexic individuals.
