# How Do I Choose My View Preferences?

Are your eyes tired from using the white background at night? Do you speak a different language? Do you prefer 24-hour time over 12-hour AM/PM? You're in the right place — the View Preferences tab on your account lets you change all three.

## What You Can Change

The following changes can be made on the View Preferences tab:

- Preferred language

- Preferred time display format

- View mode (Light vs. Dark)

## How to Open View Preferences

- Go to app.vacationtracker.io/signin (https://app.vacationtracker.io/signin).

- Log in with your credentials (Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google, or Email).

- Click on your profile on the bottom left-hand side of the dashboard.

- Select Account Settings from the menu.

- Click on the View Preferences tab at the top of the page.

## Preferred Language

On Vacation Tracker there are a total of 9 different language options that you can choose from. They appear in the dropdown in their native form:

English
Français
Español
Português
Deutsch
Italiano
Polski
Türkçe
Svenska

## Preferred Time Display Format

You decide how you want to view time on Vacation Tracker:

- 12h — 12-hour clock with AM/PM (e.g., 3:00 PM).

- 24h — 24-hour clock, also known as military time (e.g., 15:00).

## Dark Mode vs. Light Mode

Changing from Light Mode to Dark Mode is a click away — toggle the Dark Mode Vs. Light Mode switch on the View Preferences tab.

Quick-change shortcuts

You can also adjust Language and Color theme directly from the profile dropdown in the bottom-left of the sidebar (without opening Account Settings).
