Settings → VisionScaper Appearance is a status and rescue page. The actual look and layout are edited inside the app.

Inside the Contractor Hub: Settings → 🎨 Appearance & layout → Whole site. Homeowners and everyone else can personalise their own view at My Account → Look & layout. The admin page has a button, Open the Appearance editor, that takes you to the Hub settings.

Everything is stored as checked settings, never as custom CSS, HTML or script, so a theme cannot break the app. Every value is whitelisted and limited to a safe range.

From first to last, each layer can override the one before unless it is locked:
1. System defaults
2. Site theme (set by an administrator)
3. Business theme (each contractor)
4. My preferences (each person)

Layouts follow the same idea: a role default (set by the administrator) and then each person’s own layout. The theme can set mode (dark, light, system or high contrast), accent and other colors, type size, shapes and density.

An administrator can lock whole categories so lower layers cannot change them: colors, type, shape, density, motion, mode and layout. The administrator also chooses what contractors and homeowners may customise.

A contractor can switch on their brand color for their customer pages only if they choose to. It is checked so text stays readable.

If something looks wrong for everyone, use these. They only affect the site-wide layer. Each business and person keeps their own choices.

1. Restore last known-good look: grey if no known-good copy exists.
2. Back to the default look: unpublishes the site theme (the old one is kept in history as “Before the emergency reset”).
3. Remove all locks
4. Clear role default layouts

Each shows a green message such as “The site look is back to the VisionScaper default.”

• Try a new site look in the editor and read it in light and dark mode before publishing.
• Use the locks sparingly. A locked category hides the choice from users.

• A button is greyed out: there is nothing to restore or unpublish.
• People complain about colors: use Remove all locks, then ask them to use Look & layout.

• Customer accounts and sign-in
• FAQ: accounts and privacy
