Why does my sidebar menu colour differ on different laptops

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around Darun_DP’s issue with the sidebar menu color differing on two laptops. ARMADILLO suggested checking if the themes are the same on both accounts, but Darun_DP confirmed that the theme is the same. Heliosurge pointed out that laptop display calibration and properties can affect the color display. twofoursixeight added that the laptop’s light or dark theme setting can also impact how the forum is displayed, and agreed with Heliosurge that display properties should be considered.

Hi,
I have setup my Discourse platform but the sidebar menu has one highlighted color in my Laptop and a darker color in other laptop.

Are you on the same account on both labtops? If not, then perhaps the themes are different for each account? If the accounts are different, go into preferences, go to user interface, and select whichever theme you prefer. Hope this helps!

Checked, the theme is also same in both the laptops and i am not able to attach an image to the reply also, it says upload failed.

Huh. I don’t know what to do then. I’m sure someone else can help, though!

Laptop displays are not always calibrated. There are different factors and adjustments to display panels.

Are these 2 laptops the same model? If so check display properties.

You can set a light and dark theme, so if the laptop has a light theme, the forum shows the light theme, but if it’s a dark theme, it shows the dark theme.

Of course, display properties should be considered, as the color accuracy on your screen can impact how the forum looks (like what Heliosurge said)
