Settings & Customisation

Opening Settings

Click the gear icon in the toolbar to open the Settings panel. It slides in from the right side.

Theme

Switch between Dark and Light mode. Your preference is saved and persists across sessions.

Accent Colours

Choose from 15 accent colour themes: Mint (default blue), Sunset, Purple, Ocean, Gold, Rose, Lime, Cyan, Indigo, Emerald, Ruby, Amber, Teal, Pink, and Sky. The accent colour affects buttons, links, highlights, and UI elements throughout the app.

Card Effects

Choose from 5 card visual effects (plus off) that change how listing cards appear: Hover Scale, Tilt on Hover, Gentle Float, Glow Pulse, and Pop Effect. These add subtle animations or styling to the card borders and backgrounds.

Timezone

Set your timezone so that auction end times display correctly in your local time. BidWatch auto-detects your timezone but you can override it.

Currency Display

Choose your preferred currency for price display. This affects how prices are shown but does not convert values — it is a display preference only.

Tab Title

Toggle the Countdown in Tab Title option to show the soonest-ending auction’s countdown directly in the browser tab. When disabled, the tab simply shows “BidWatch”.
