Settings

The Settings panel provides options to customize your HOLMES experience, including theme selection, data persistence, and application information.

Accessing Settings

Click the hamburger menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner to open the settings panel.

Available Settings

Theme

Toggle between light and dark color themes:

Theme	Description
Dark (default)	Dark background with light text - easier on the eyes in low light
Light	Light background with dark text - better in bright environments

Click the theme button or press T to toggle.

The theme preference is saved automatically if Allow save is enabled.

Reset All

Click Reset all to clear all saved settings and data:

• Clears all localStorage data for HOLMES
• Resets configuration to defaults
• Removes imported calibrations from Simulation and Projection pages
• Reloads the page

Data Loss

Reset all cannot be undone. Any unsaved calibration parameters or imported files will be lost.

Allow Save

Controls whether saved settings are loaded on page load:

State	Behavior
Enabled	Saved settings are loaded from localStorage on page load
Disabled	Saved settings are ignored on page load (defaults are used instead)

When Allow save is disabled, saved settings are ignored on page load (defaults are used instead). However, changes you make during the session are still written to localStorage.

Settings that can be persisted include:

• Selected model, catchment, objective, etc.
• Calibration date ranges
• Imported calibrations (Simulation/Projection pages)
• Theme preference

Version

Displays the current HOLMES version number.

This information is useful when:

• Reporting bugs or issues
• Checking for updates
• Verifying installation

Keyboard Shortcuts

The settings panel includes a visual reminder of available shortcuts:

Data Storage

HOLMES stores settings in your browser's localStorage under keys prefixed with holmes--:

• holmes--settings--theme: Light or dark theme
• holmes--calibration--*: Calibration page settings
• holmes--simulation--*: Simulation page settings
• holmes--projection--*: Projection page settings

This data:

• Stays in your browser (not sent to any server)
• Persists until cleared manually or via Reset all
• Is specific to the browser and device you're using

Privacy

HOLMES does not collect or transmit any user data:

• All computations happen locally or on your server
• Settings are stored only in your browser
• No analytics or tracking
