Change the theme

Aden follows your system's light or dark setting until you pick something else. You can keep up to 10 of your own themes.

Pick a theme

1. Open Account → Themes.
2. Pick System, Light or Dark, or click one of your themes.

Click the active theme again to go back to the system setting.

Make your own

1. Click a preset under Start from a preset, or New theme to start from Aden's colours.
2. Name it, then adjust Accent, Background tint and Contrast. The whole page shows the result as you go.
3. Under Sidebar, pick Dark for a dark menu around a light page, Light for the reverse, or Match.
4. Need one exact colour, like the focus ring? Open Fine-tune every color.
5. Click Save and use, or Cancel to put your old colours back.

Use the … menu on a theme to edit, duplicate or delete it.

Add a background image

1. Under Account → Themes, find Background.
2. Upload or drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, up to 10 MB.
3. Use Dim to set how much of the page colour sits over it. Remove takes it off.

Teams and organisations can set a background in their settings too. Members see it inside that team or organisation, and their own everywhere else.

In the desktop app

Open Settings → Appearance to pick a theme. Every Aden window changes together.
