# Override the Next Experience theme

# Override the Next Experience theme {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated January 30, 2025

Override the Next Experience theme with your custom theme.

## Before you begin

The glide.ui.polaris.theme.custom was used to override the Next Experience theme prior to the Xanadu release. As of Xanadu, you are able to publish multiple themes and select a theme for the Next Experience. The glide.ui.polaris.theme.custom system property is only considered if the UX Parent App Themes table is empty. For more information, see [Publish multiple themes in Next Experience](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/zOaNlgev~CURx6XiFjnneg "Publish multiple themes and set the order of your Next Experience custom and Theme Builder themes to configure how they’re displayed in the user's Theme preferences.").

Role required: admin

## About this task

Override the default Next Experience theme while keeping the Next Experience UI.

## Procedure

1. In the filter navigator field, type <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_ux_theme.list</kbd> and press Enter.
2. Select the theme you want to override the Next Experience theme with.
3. Right-click the header and select Copy sys_id.  
4. In the application navigator field, type <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_properties.list</kbd> and press Enter.
5. Select New.
6. Fill in the System Property form.  
   * Name the system property <kbd class="ph userinput">glide.ui.polaris.theme.custom</kbd>.
   * Set the type value to string.
   * In the value field, paste the sys_id you copied in step 3.
   * A Suffix field will appear on the System Property form when you want to apply a custom theme to a specific application scope. This field is required.
   {#override-next-experience-theme__ul_ncl_rf1_45b}
7. Select Submit.  
   Your custom theme appears. If necessary, refresh your browser.  
   Note:  
   If, for any reason, you decide to revert back to the Polaris theme, repeat steps 4 through 7, replacing the sys_id in the Value field with the sys_id of the Polaris theme.
