Using Theme Switching Across the Platform

Finding the Theme Switcher on Public and Admin Pages

In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, you can change the display mode in both the public website and the admin area. On public pages, look in the top header area for the theme switcher. This control is available while browsing the website, so visitors do not need to sign in to use it. If you are exploring service pages, company type guidance, ERP app pages, or contact pages, you can switch the display mode directly from the page header and continue browsing without interruption.

The same idea applies after sign-in. If you work in the admin area as a content editor or administrator, look for the light and dark mode control in the admin header or top navigation area. You can use it while viewing the Dashboard or while moving through sections such as Content, Users, Settings, SEO, Services, and Pricing. The switcher is part of the shared admin layout, so you do not need to open a separate settings page just to change the display.

This split is useful because different people use different parts of Sherkety ERP & Website Platform:

• Public pages are for prospective buyers, service visitors, and anyone comparing offerings or reading product information.
• Admin pages are for signed-in staff such as content editors and administrators managing website content and business information.

When you use the theme switcher, the visible change happens right away on the current screen. Expect the page background, navigation bars, cards, text, and other interface surfaces to update immediately.

Switching Between Light and Dark Mode

Changing the display mode is quick and works the same way in both parts of Sherkety ERP & Website Platform.

1. Open any public-facing page, such as the homepage, a services page, a company type page, or an ERP app page.
2. Find the theme toggle in the header.
3. Click the toggle once to switch to the other mode.

As soon as you click it, the page updates on the spot. The toggle icon changes state, the background color shifts, and the text contrast adjusts so the page remains readable. You stay on the same page, and there is no need to reload before continuing to browse.

You can follow the same steps in the admin area.

1. Sign in and open an admin page such as Dashboard, Content, Users, Settings, SEO, Services, or Pricing.
2. Find the theme toggle in the top area of the screen.
3. Click it to switch between light mode and dark mode.

The current admin screen updates immediately. Forms, tables, side navigation, cards, and top bars all restyle without taking you away from your work. If you are editing content or reviewing settings, you can switch modes and keep working on the same page.

If you already reviewed Understanding Saved Display Preferences, you know how Sherkety ERP & Website Platform remembers your choice. For everyday use, the important point is simple: once you switch themes, that choice remains active as you continue moving through pages in the same browsing session.

Recognizing What Changes in Light and Dark Mode

When you switch themes in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the layout stays familiar, but the visual styling changes across the page. On public pages, you will notice the biggest changes in the header, hero sections, content blocks, cards, buttons, links, and footer areas. Light mode uses brighter page backgrounds and darker text, while dark mode uses darker surfaces with lighter text. This helps long pages feel more comfortable depending on your environment and reading preference.

On pages that present business services, ERP modules, comparisons, and contact options, cards and section backgrounds also change to match the selected theme. Buttons remain in the same places, but their contrast updates so they are still easy to spot. Links, highlighted areas, and section dividers also shift visually to fit the active mode.

In the admin area, the same pattern applies to working screens. When you switch to dark mode, sidebar panels, the top bar, tables, form fields, dialog windows, and action buttons all restyle together. Inputs and panels use darker surfaces, while labels and values become lighter for readability. Secondary text usually appears more muted than primary text, and borders or dividers become softer so the screen does not feel too harsh.

Even though the colors change, interactive states remain visible in both themes:

• Hovered buttons still stand out
• Selected menu items remain clearly marked
• Active navigation links are still easy to identify
• Open dialogs and focused inputs remain distinct from the background

Using Theme Switching in Everyday Browsing and Content Work

Theme switching is useful in different ways depending on how you use Sherkety ERP & Website Platform. If you are a visitor comparing services or ERP products, choose the mode that makes pages easiest to read. On long pages with service descriptions, pricing information, FAQs, or contact details, some people prefer light mode for daytime reading, while others find dark mode more comfortable on bright screens or in low-light settings. You can switch at any point while browsing and continue reading the same page.

For content editors, the theme switcher is especially helpful when reviewing how website sections look during editing. If you are working with page content, previewing updates, or checking rich text blocks and media cards, switching themes lets you inspect the same material under different visual conditions. This can help you notice spacing, contrast, and readability issues before saving or publishing changes. If you regularly edit public-facing sections, this works well alongside previewing changes before saving content and using live preview to check page updates.

Administrators can also use the toggle while moving through operational screens such as Settings, Users, SEO, Services, and Pricing. If you spend long periods reviewing tables, forms, and dashboard content, changing the display mode can make the workspace more comfortable without affecting your tasks.

Theme switching changes presentation only. It does not change:

• Page content
• Saved records
• User roles or permissions
• Publishing steps
• Navigation structure
• Available actions on the page

Knowing What Stays Consistent Across Both Themes

The most important thing to remember is that Sherkety ERP & Website Platform works the same way in light mode and dark mode. Changing the theme affects how screens look, not how they behave. Whether you are on the public website or in the admin area, the same menus, pages, and actions remain available.

These parts stay functionally the same in both themes:

• Header and navigation structure
• Menu labels and page names
• Button labels and action wording
• Form fields and input order
• Page locations and browsing paths
• Admin sections such as Dashboard, Content, Users, Settings, SEO, Services, and Pricing

If you open a page, edit content, save a change, or move between admin sections, the workflow does not change with the theme. A visitor reading ERP app pages still sees the same sections and calls to action. A signed-in editor still uses the same editing controls and preview tools. An administrator still reaches the same settings and management screens.

Branding and page structure also remain consistent. Logos, images, and content blocks may sit on lighter or darker backgrounds depending on the selected mode, but the underlying page layout stays in the same order. Headings, cards, links, and action areas keep their roles even when their colors change.

You may notice accessibility-related adjustments between themes. Text, icons, borders, and controls are styled to stay legible against the current background. That means contrast, muted text tones, and divider colors may look different, but these changes are there to preserve readability rather than introduce a new workflow.

Fixing Common Theme Display Issues

If the theme does not appear to change after you click the toggle, start with the current page. Refresh the page, then use the header toggle again. In most cases, this is enough to confirm whether the change was applied correctly. Watch for three signs: the toggle icon changes, the page background updates, and the text contrast shifts.

If the public website and the admin area appear in different modes, check each interface separately. Open a public page and confirm the visible state of the header toggle there. Then sign in to the admin area and check the toggle in the admin header. Because these are separate browsing experiences, it is possible to notice a different theme in each area until you switch them to match.

If text, buttons, or cards look difficult to read after switching themes, compare that page with another page in the same area. For example, if one public page looks unusual, open a second public page and see whether the same issue appears there. Do the same in the admin area by moving from Dashboard to Content or Settings. This helps you tell whether the problem affects one page or the whole interface.

If the selected mode does not seem to stay active while you move around, test it on a second page and again after a page reload. This gives you a clear pattern to watch for:

• Does the mode change immediately after clicking?
• Does it remain active when you open another page?
• Does it reset only after refreshing?
• Does the issue happen on public pages, admin pages, or both?

Overview

Theme switching in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform lets you choose between light mode and dark mode while browsing public pages or working in the admin area. The same type of control appears in the public header for visitors and in the admin header for signed-in users, so you can change the display without opening a separate settings screen.

This feature is useful across both sides of the product:

• Visitors can adjust the look of service pages, ERP app pages, company type guidance, and contact pages
• Content editors can review website sections, previews, and editing screens in a more comfortable display mode
• Administrators can work through dashboard, settings, user, SEO, services, and pricing screens with the same flexibility

The change is immediate and visual. Backgrounds, text, cards, navigation areas, tables, and form surfaces update to match the selected mode. At the same time, the structure of the page stays the same, so you do not need to relearn where anything is.

This document focuses on where to find the theme switcher, how to use it across public and admin pages, what visual changes to expect, and how to handle common display issues.

Prerequisites

You do not need any setup to use theme switching on the public website. To change the display mode there, you only need to open any public page in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform and locate the theme toggle in the header.

For the admin area, make sure you can sign in and reach the top navigation area where the same type of toggle is available. If you have not accessed the admin portal before, start with Signing In and Accessing the Admin Portal.

Before you begin, it helps to have:

• Access to at least one public page, such as the homepage, a services page, a company type page, or an ERP app page
• An admin account if you want to test theme switching in Dashboard, Content, Users, Settings, SEO, Services, or Pricing
• Basic familiarity with the header and navigation areas on the pages you use
• An understanding of saved display behavior from Understanding Saved Display Preferences

If you are comparing how the two themes look, keep one or two pages open that contain a mix of headings, buttons, cards, and text-heavy sections. That makes it easier to notice the differences between light mode and dark mode as you switch.
