# Language, region and display settings

Set up Heartsome the way you like it: in Dutch or English, with your time zone and number format, and in light or dark mode. These settings only apply to you, not to your colleagues.

#### Language & Region
Go to **My settings → Language & Region**. Here you can set:
* **Language**: Dutch or English.
* **Time zone**: makes sure times in Heartsome match your location.
* **First day of the week**: the day weeks start on in calendars and overviews.
* **Time format**: 24-hour (14:30) or 12-hour (2:30 PM).
* **Number format**: 1.000,00 (common in the Netherlands) or 1,000.00.

Click **Save**. You’ll see **Settings saved.** when it’s done.

#### Display
Go to **My settings → Display** and choose:
* **Light**: a light background.
* **Dark**: a dark background, easy on the eyes in the evening or if you’re sensitive to bright screens.
* **System**: Heartsome automatically follows your computer or phone’s display setting.

Your choice is applied immediately, no need to save.
