Advanced POS UI - Dark Mode

Dark Mode for the Advanced POS User Interface

This article describes how to use the Dark Mode for the Advanced POS User Interface. By default, the Advanced POS User Interface uses Light Mode, which can be very bright in low-light conditions. The Dark Mode is available to reduce the amount of light emitted from the POS screen and reduce eye strain.

IMPORTANT! This feature is available in Maitre'D 7.08.000.440 or later.

Enable Dark Mode

By default, the Advanced POS User Interface uses Light Mode. This configuration is at the workstation level, therefore every workstation can be configured independently. Also, a manual override setting is available on the POS screen, allowing employees to toggle between Light and Dark modes on the fly.

1. Logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office with appropriate credentials. (Distributor or System Owner)

IMPORTANT! This option determines the default behaviour of the workstation. With Dark Mode enabled, the workstation will always start in Dark Mode after a reboot or after recreating workstation data.

Users can always override this configuration by using the Light / Dark toggle switch as explained further below.

1. Click OK. The workstation options window will close and bring you back to the list of workstations.

2. Repeat this process as necessary for all workstations which needs to use Dark Mode by default.
