App Appearance and Preferences

Personalize your Emporia experience with visual themes, language options, and currency display settings.

Updated today

The Emporia Energy app offers several customization options to help you personalize your experience. These settings allow you to adjust the app's appearance, choose your preferred language, and set your currency display to match your regional preferences.

Access these settings by tapping the menu icon (☰) in the app and selecting Account.

Dark Mode

Dark Mode provides a visually comfortable alternative to the default light theme, offering a modern, sleek appearance that's especially useful in low-light environments.

What is Dark Mode?

Dark Mode changes the app's visual appearance by replacing bright backgrounds with darker tones. This creates a more relaxed viewing experience and can help reduce eye strain when using the app at night or in dimly lit spaces.

Light (default)

  • Bright backgrounds with white and light gray tones

  • Vibrant, traditional experience

  • Optimal for daytime use and well-lit environments

Dark

  • Black and dark gray tones throughout the app

  • Subdued colors for a relaxed viewing experience

  • Modern appearance with reduced brightness

How to Enable Dark Mode

  2. Select Account Options

Currency Symbol Display

The Currency Symbol setting allows you to change the displayed currency label shown throughout the app to match your region's currency.

What This Setting Changes

  • Display Only - This is a cosmetic preference that affects how currency symbols appear in the app

  • No Calculation Changes - Does not affect how rates are calculated or how costs are computed

  • Visual Consistency - Ensures the currency symbol matches your actual billing currency

How to Change Currency Symbol

  1. Tap the menu icon (☰) in the app

  2. Select Account Options

  3. Tap Currency Symbol

  4. Select from available currency options

  5. Changes apply immediately throughout the app

How It Works with Manual Rate Entry

When you enter a manual utility rate, you enter the numerical value in cents per kWh. The app then multiplies this rate by your energy usage (kWh) to calculate costs.

Important Note: The app performs simple multiplication without automatic currency conversion. For example, in the case of euros (€), "1 cent per kWh" would correspond to 0.01 euros per kWh.

This allows you to track costs in your local currency while maintaining accurate calculations based on your actual utility rates.

Available Currency Symbols

The Emporia app supports various international currency symbols, including:

  • $ (Dollar - USD, CAD, AUD, etc.)

  • (Euro)

  • £ (Pound Sterling)

  • ¥ (Yen/Yuan)

  • (Rupee)

  • And other commonly used currency symbols

Select the symbol that matches your region and utility billing.
