Using Sideporch

Themes and profiles

Everything about your account is under your name at the bottom of the sidebar.

Themes

Pick one of 20 themes under Appearance, light, dark, or following your system:

Sideporch (the default), GitHub, Aubergine, Solarized, Gruvbox, Catppuccin, Rosé Pine, Nord, One, Everforest, Tokyo Night, Ayu, Tomorrow, Material, High contrast, Paper, Dracula, Monokai, Kanagawa and Night Owl.

Admins set the team’s default under Admin → Appearance; everyone can still choose their own.

The Appearance page: the team's default theme selected, and a grid of theme previews, each in light and dark: Sideporch, GitHub, Aubergine, Solarized, Gruvbox, Catppuccin and more.
Every theme in light and dark; click one to try it. Sideporch 0.7.0

Your profile

Everyone has a profile with a picture, a display name, a status with an emoji, a short bio and links. Click someone’s name or picture to see theirs.

Point at a name or picture in chat, or move to a name with the keyboard, and a card shows who that is: their picture, username, status, badges such as Admin or Moderators, trust level, what time it is where they are, and when they joined, with buttons to message them or open their profile.

A channel with a card over Grace's name: her picture, a green Moderators badge, her status, trust level, local time and buttons to message her or open her profile.
Pointing at a name shows who that is. Sideporch 0.7.0

Under Edit profile you also pick the emoji your reaction picker shows first.

Sign-in and security

Passwords, passkeys, authenticator apps and your email address are under Sign-in and security in the same menu. See Sign-in and security for what each does.
