You can switch between different themes for the user interface.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Themes are user-specific. Each user can select a different theme and the selection is
stored as a [user
preference](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9DLXgQr8mysxhbLRWSP8Mw "Users can configure many UI features, such as the number of rows per page in a list or whether the response time displays at the bottom of a list or form. Administrators can modify or delete these preferences as needed.").

This topic applies only when the Next Experience is not enabled. For information about selecting a theme with Next Experience, see [Select a theme in Next Experience](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BzxxQBeX3CQ1aCtlqwC~ZQ "Personalize your Next Experience instance by selecting a theme and it's variant or alternate color palette in the user preferences menu.").

## Procedure

1. Select the gear icon (![Gear icon]()) in the banner frame to access the System Settings window.
2. Select the Theme tab, and then select the theme.
