What are the LFD Appearance Settings?

The LFD Appearance Settings allow you to control how your LFD appears to users. You can set colors of different text within the component as well as fonts, layout, design, and more. This ultimately gives you control over the visual and aesthetic appearance of your LFD app screen.

Why use the LFD Appearance Settings?

The appearance settings ultimately allow you to design how your LFD will appear to users. This can help you make your app more user-friendly. Without the LFD appearance settings, you would have less control over how your app appears to users. The LFD Appearance Settings also allow you to make your app unique in its appearance and fit with your brand guidelines.
