Best Practices for Theme Customization
| Recommendation | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Use bold colors for critical actions | Helps SOS and Fall Detection buttons stand out. |
| Choose high contrast between background and text | Ensures better readability under all lighting conditions. |
| Test visibility under Light and Dark Modes | Make sure your colors look good in both themes if you switch often. |
| Keep it simple | Too many bright colors may distract during emergencies — prioritize clarity. |
