Environment
Set a color scheme to suit an activity.
Different activities are best performed in particular optical environments. Some activities demand passive management and observation, while others require intense immersion.
Options
Use only one environment per interface. If you’re unsure of which to choose, use light.
- Light Environment (LE) — Our default environment fits browsing experiences for everyday work, such as viewing or managing information.
- Dark Environment (DE) — For immersive content experiences, like video editing or tagging.
Usage
