## What it is [#what-it-is]

Aden follows your system's light or dark setting by default. You can pin it to
light or dark, or make your own theme with its own colors. You can keep up to
10 themes.

## Using it [#using-it]

1. Open **Account > Themes**.
2. Pick **System**, **Light** or **Dark**, or click one of your themes to use it.
   Click the active theme again to go back to the system theme.
3. To make a new one, click a preset under **Start from a preset**, or
   **New theme** to start from Aden's own colors.
4. Name it, then adjust **Accent**, **Background tint** and **Contrast**. The
   whole page shows the result while you edit.
5. Click **Save and use**. **Cancel** puts your previous colors back.

Open **Fine-tune every color** to change a single color, like the sidebar or
the focus ring. Moving a knob afterwards regenerates every color.

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