Style & Appearance

Last updated: May 22, 2026

The Style & Appearance page lets you control the visual foundation of your app — the status bar, background color, screen orientation, and fullscreen mode. These settings apply globally across the entire app.

Status Bar

The status bar is the thin strip at the top of the device screen that shows the time, battery, and signal indicators.

Background Color

Set the background color of the status bar for both Light and Dark themes.

  • Light Mode default: #ffffff
  • Dark Mode default: #000000

Choose a color that matches your app's header or top navigation to create a seamless look.

Icon Color

Controls whether the status bar icons and text (time, battery, signal) appear in dark or light color.

OptionBest used when
DarkYour status bar background is light (e.g. white or pastel)
LightYour status bar background is dark (e.g. black or deep color)

Always ensure there is enough contrast between the background color and icon color for readability.

App Background Color

This is the background color that appears behind your website content while it is loading, or in any areas not covered by your webpage.

  • Light Mode default: #ffffff
  • Dark Mode default: #000000

Set this to match your website's background color to avoid a flash of mismatched color during page transitions.

App Orientation

Controls how the app responds when the user rotates their device.

OptionDescription
Landscape & PortraitAllows both orientations — the app rotates freely (default)
Portrait OnlyLocks the app in vertical mode regardless of device rotation
Landscape Left OnlyLocks the app in horizontal mode facing left
Landscape Right OnlyLocks the app in horizontal mode facing right

Choose Portrait Only if your website is designed for vertical layout. Choose Landscape & Portrait if your website supports both — for example, a video platform or a game.

Fullscreen Mode

When enabled, the app hides the status bar and system navigation buttons, giving your content the entire screen.

  • Enabled: The status bar and navigation bar are hidden. The app takes up the full display.
  • Disabled (default): The status bar and navigation bar remain visible.

Fullscreen mode works well for media-heavy apps, games, or immersive experiences. For general content apps, keeping the status bar visible is usually the better choice as users expect to see their time and battery at a glance.
