User Interface
File > Settings > User Interface (Windows, Linux)
Screaming Frog SEO Spider > Settings > User Interface (macOS)
There are a few configuration options under the user interface menu. These are as follows –
- Theme > Light / Dark – By default the SEO Spider uses a light grey theme. However, you can switch to a dark theme (aka, ‘Dark Mode’, ‘Batman Mode’ etc). This theme can help reduce eye strain, particularly for those that work in low light.
- Accent Colour – The SEO Spider uses green as it’s default colour for highlighting rows, cells and other UI options. However, you can adjust this to your own preference.
