About This Feature
Overview
Eye Care Mode is a display feature in WPS Writer on macOS that helps reduce the visual intensity of a bright white page during reading and editing. After it is turned on, the document background changes to a soft green tone that is more comfortable for long reading sessions, proofreading, or working in dim environments.
Core tasks include:
- Turn Eye Care Mode on or off from the View menu.
- Switch Eye Care Mode quickly from the status bar.
This feature changes only the on-screen display. It does not change document content or print output.
