Themes, text size and layout

Label Station is built to work for every seller, with a keyboard, with a screen reader, and in light or dark. This page covers the three things you can change to suit you.

Light and dark themes

The app and the side panel follow your computer’s light or dark setting. Change it in Windows or macOS and Label Station follows. There is no theme switch inside the app.

If your system is set to reduce motion, Label Station turns its animations off.

Larger text on the label

In the Label size card in Setup, the Text size list sets how big the text is on your printed labels.

• Auto picks a size that fits the label. The list shows what that is for your label, for example Auto (2× for this size).
• 1× (smallest), 2×, 3× and 4× (largest) force a size. Larger text is easier to read at arm’s length when you sort.

If a forced size does not fit the label, the card tells you and asks for a smaller one. Margins move the text in and never shrink it.

This changes the printed label, not the app window. The app’s own text size follows your system settings.

Edit layout

Click Edit layout in the top bar to arrange the tabs and sections your way.

• Rename a tab, give it a colour, and move it left or right.
• Add a tab or delete one.
• Move a section up or down its column, to the other column, or to another tab with its Move to… list.
• Click Done to save, or Cancel to drop your changes.

Nothing needs dragging. Every change has its own button, though you can also drag a section by its grip.

Inventory and Setup are fixed. They are always the last two tabs, and you cannot rename or move them. The side panel keeps a layout of its own, so arranging the panel never moves the window’s tabs.

If you delete the layout file, the standard tabs return: Live, Reprint, Unpaid and Summary.

If something looks different

• A section seems to be gone. Sections are moved, never deleted. Open Edit layout and look on the other tabs.
• The app looks dark and you want light. Change your computer’s appearance setting.

Where to next

• The Setup tab
• Label size, margins and test labels
