Appearance and language
Choose a theme, the fonts, the text size, the density of the interface and the display language of NovaFisko.
The Appearance screen adapts NovaFisko to your screen and your habits: light or dark theme, fonts, text size, density of the tables. These settings are personal and saved on the device. They have no effect on the data or on what your colleagues see.
Opening the appearance settings
- Click the language menu, which displays the current language.
- Choose Appearance… at the bottom of the list.
The settings apply immediately, without a confirmation button. A Preview block shows a sample trial balance with amounts, status badges and both fonts, so that you can judge the result before closing.
Colour theme
Twelve themes are offered, five light and seven dark. The All, Light and Dark filters narrow the list.
| Theme | Type | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Papier | Light | Original light, violet ink |
| Brume | Light | Grey-blue, steel accent |
| Sable | Light | Warm, cream and brown |
| Polaire | Light | Cool, maximum contrast |
| Lagune | Light | Green-blue, teal accent |
| Encre | Dark | Original dark, midnight blue |
| Minuit | Dark | OLED black, neutral greys |
| Fjord | Dark | Nordic, sky accent |
| Ardoise | Dark | Grey, less glare |
| Forêt | Dark | Green, sage accent |
| Aurore | Dark | Rose, powder accent |
| Orchidée | Dark | Mauve, orchid accent |
The Follow system option lets the application switch by itself according to the light or dark mode of your computer: Papier by day, Encre at night. This is the default setting.
For long data entry sessions, try Ardoise or Brume: their moderate contrast is less tiring than pure black or pure white. For a presentation on a projector, Polaire offers the best legibility.
Fonts
Two fonts are set separately.
| Setting | Use | Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Interface font | Titles, labels and body text | Inter (default), Roboto, Open Sans, Source Sans 3, IBM Plex Sans, Nunito Sans, Lato, Manrope, DM Sans, or System |
| Figures font | Amounts, account numbers and IBANs | JetBrains Mono (default), Fira Code, Source Code Pro, IBM Plex Mono, Roboto Mono |
The figures font is monospaced: all digits have the same width, which aligns the amount columns to the cent. A specimen displays an invoice reference, an amount and an IBAN in the chosen font.
The System choice uses the font of your operating system, without downloading anything.
Text size
The Text size slider goes from 85% to 130%, in 5% steps. The default value is 100%. The whole interface follows: labels, tables, buttons.
- Below 100%, you display more lines on a small screen.
- Above, you gain comfort on a large screen or a high-resolution screen.
Density
The density sets the row height, the margins and the toolbar.
| Density | Effect | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Compact (default) | Tight rows, a maximum of entries visible | Intensive data entry, large tables |
| Normal | Intermediate spacing | General-purpose use |
| Comfortable | Tall, airy rows | Touch screen, consultation, presentation to a client |
Reduced motion
The Reduced motion option removes the fades and slides between views. Enable it if the transitions bother you, or on a low-powered workstation.
Sidebar
The sidebar that carries the tabs of the company file has three modes.
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Automatic | Collapsed automatically when the window is less than 1,100 pixels wide, expanded beyond that. |
| Collapsed | Only the icons are visible, whatever the screen. |
| Expanded | Icons and labels always visible. |
As soon as you open or close the sidebar yourself with its arrow, your choice is remembered and the automatic mode no longer applies.
Going back to the original settings
Each block has its Reset button. The Reset everything button, at the top of the screen, restores the theme, the fonts, the size, the density and the sidebar to their default values in one go.
Interface language
The application is available in four languages: Français, Nederlands, English and Deutsch.
- Click the language menu.
- Choose the language. The interface switches immediately.
The interface language is distinct from the company language. The first concerns what you see on screen. The second, set in the company settings, determines the language of the exported documents and of the labels created automatically, such as the name of the periods or the label of the closing entries.
Where these settings are saved
The appearance preferences are kept on the device, in the storage of the application. In practice:
- they do not follow you from one computer to another: set up each workstation once;
- in a browser, they are lost if you clear the site data or if you use private browsing;
- they are independent of the account: on a shared workstation, the last setting applies to the next user.
Clearing the browser cache erases your appearance preferences, but also the local copy of the company files made available offline. First check that no change is pending synchronisation.
