Step 1: Review the saved theme

Section titled “Step 1: Review the saved theme”

Open Settings → Appearance. Wait for the saved preference to load, then review the selected card and Current resolved theme in the preview.

Step 2: Choose Light, Dark, or System

Section titled “Step 2: Choose Light, Dark, or System”

Select:

  • Light for a bright interface;
  • Dark for a darker interface; or
  • System to follow the operating system preference automatically.

The page previews the choice immediately. With System, the resolved theme can change when the device preference changes.

Step 3: Save the preference

Section titled “Step 3: Save the preference”

Choose Save Changes in the page header and wait for Saving appearance… to finish. The backend stores the preference for your account.

If the save fails, the page reports the error and keeps the local preference active for the current browser view. That local appearance is not proof that the account preference persisted.

The card selection is only a local preview until Save Changes completes. Retry after the error is resolved.
