Your account: display name, avatar and dashboard theme

Your display name and avatar appear throughout DashVue and on the invoices your buyers see, and your theme controls how the dashboard looks while you work. This article covers all three, all set from one place: Settings → Account.

Where to find these settings

Open Settings from the sidebar, then choose Account. You will see a Profile section for your display name and avatar, and an Appearance section for theme and colour palette.

Update your display name

Your display name shows up in two places: the sidebar of your own dashboard, and on any invoices DashVue generates for your sales. It is worth keeping it accurate and recognisable, since it is what appears on customer-facing paperwork as well as your own workspace.

1. Go to Settings → Account.
2. In the Profile section, find the display name field.
3. Type or edit your name.
4. Click or tab away from the field.

Upload an avatar

In the same Profile section, you can upload an avatar image. Once uploaded, it appears next to your display name in the sidebar, giving your workspace a bit more personality and making it easier to tell accounts apart if you manage more than one.

Switch between light and dark theme

The Appearance section lets you switch the dashboard between light and dark theme, whichever is easier on your eyes. This is a personal display preference only: it changes how DashVue looks for you, not anything buyers see on eBay or on your invoices.

Choose a colour palette

Alongside light and dark theme, the Appearance section also offers a choice of colour palette, so you can adjust the accent colours used across the dashboard to suit your own taste.
