Getting started

Make TrueSum yours

Choose the colors, the zoom and the spacing.

Choose how TrueSum looks. You can set its colors, how large everything is, and how much room rows and fields take. You can change all three at any time. Settings opens from the business's name in the title bar, so create a business first.

Open App Settings

  1. Press the business's name in the middle of the title bar.
  2. In the Settings window, choose App Settings.

On a Mac you can also, in the TrueSum menu at the top of the screen, choose Settings…, or press Command and the comma key.

App Settings are for the whole app, not for one business. Colors and spacing are in the Appearance section, at the bottom.

Choose the colors

Press Theme and choose one from the list, which scrolls. The change applies at once.

Density changes the room around things. Text stays the same size.

Make everything larger or smaller

There is no separate text size. Zoom makes everything in the window larger or smaller together, including text, icons and space. It is in the View menu.
