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.

    The worst place for the font is in the inbox. Attached is a screenshot, showing how the bolded numbers are unreadable, especially with the way numbers are shorter than full length characters and capitals, and the way unbolded text is slightly more readable but still not good.

    I should also note that changing the default fonts in Chrome settings had no effect, which leads me to believe that if I wanted to use a font like Dyslexie, I would not be able to.

    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.
