**Settings > Appearance** sets how the dashboard looks in this browser: the theme (**Light**, **Dark** or **System**) and the row density (**Comfortable** or **Compact**). Changes apply immediately. They are saved in the browser, not on your account, so nothing else in your account changes and other people are not affected. Everyone can use it.

## Which themes can I pick?

The **Theme** card shows the current choice ("Currently: Light") and three options, each with color swatches:

| Theme | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Light | Always the light palette. This is the default. |
| Dark | Always the dark palette. |
| System | Follows your operating system, and changes with it. |

## What does row density change?

The **Row density** card has two options:

| Density | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Comfortable | The default row height, with room to scan. |
| Compact | Tighter table and list rows, so more fits on screen. |

## Is there a quicker way to switch?

Yes. The theme and density buttons in the top bar change the same settings without leaving the page you are on.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why is my theme different on another computer?

Appearance is saved in each browser, not on your account. Pick it once in every browser you use.

### Does my choice change the dashboard for my team?

No. It applies only to you, in this browser. Nothing else in your account changes.

### What does System do?

It follows your operating system's light or dark setting, and switches when your system does.
