guide

The Cryptomator app contains a dark mode that must be activated.

To activate it, you need a supporter certificate, which you can obtain from the IT Center. Please contact the IT-ServiceDesk for this.

To activate dark mode, proceed as follows:

Step 1
Open the Cryptomator app.

Step 2
Click on the cogwheel icon at the bottom left of the start window.

Step 3
In the Settings window, click on the tab Support us in the top right-hand corner.

Screenshot of the "Settings" (Einstellungen) window. In the upper area is a bar with tabs. The last tab in this row, next to "Updates", is the highlighted area "Support us" (Unterstütze uns).

Step 4
Paste the Supporter certificate into the free text field.

Screenshot of the "Support us" (Unterstütze uns) tab. Below the explanatory text and the link "Don't have one yet?" (Du hast noch keines?), there is a large "input field" (Eingabefeld). This field fills the lower area of the window and contains cryptic "sample text" (Beispieltext).

Step 5
Click on the tab User interface.

Step 6
Select the ‘Dark’ option under ‘Appearance’.

Dark mode is now activated.
