Region, Language & Display holds the settings that change how Boogir looks and feels for you.

  • Country/Region — the country for your account. Boogir personalizes your experience based on it.
  • Language — the language of Boogir's own menus, buttons and messages. It applies to your account on all platforms: the website on a computer and phone, and the iPhone and Android app. Posts stay in the language their writers used.
  • Profile tabs — the tabs visitors see on your profile, in order. The first one opens by default. At least one post type must stay ticked.
  • Dark mode — Automatic, Light or Dark. Automatic follows whatever your device is set to.
  • Message button — show or hide the floating message button in the corner of the screen.

The first three are saved to your account. Dark mode and Message button change straight away and are remembered on the device and browser you set them on, so you can pick a different look elsewhere.
