## Navigation theme
The GitLab navigation theme setting allows you to personalize your GitLab experience.
You can choose from several color themes that add unique colors to the top navigation
and left side navigation.
Using individual color themes might help you differentiate between your different
GitLab instances.
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
The default theme is Indigo. You can choose between 10 themes:
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30

- Blue
- Light Blue
- Green

## Dark mode
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/28252) in GitLab 13.1 as an Alpha release.
GitLab has started work on dark mode! The dark mode Alpha release is available in the
spirit of iteration and the lower expectations of
[Alpha versions](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#alpha).
Progress on dark mode is tracked in the [Dark theme epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2902). See the epic for:
- A list of known issues.
- Our planned direction and next steps.
If you find an issue that isnt listed, please leave a comment on the epic or create a
new issue.
Dark mode is available as a navigation theme, for MVC and compatibility reasons. In
the future, we plan to make it configurable in its own section along with support for
[different navigation themes](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219512).
NOTE: **Note:**
Dark theme currently only works with the 'Dark' syntax highlighting.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
## Syntax highlighting theme
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
GitLab uses the [rouge Ruby library](http://rouge.jneen.net/ "Rouge website")
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
for syntax highlighting outside of any Editor context. The WebIDE (like Snippets)
uses [Monaco Editor](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/) and it's provided [Monarch](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/monarch.html) library for
syntax highlighting. For a list of supported languages, visit the documentation of
the respective libraries.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
Changing this setting allows you to customize the color theme when viewing any
syntax highlighted code on GitLab.
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
The default syntax theme is White, and you can choose among 5 different themes:
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
- White
- Dark
- Solarized light
- Solarized dark
- Monokai

![Profile preferences syntax highlighting themes](img/profile-preferences-syntax-themes.png)
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
[Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2389) in 13.0, the theme
you choose also applies to the [Web IDE](../project/web_ide/index.md)'s code editor and [Snippets](../snippets.md).
2020-07-01 16:08:20 +05:30
The themes are available only in the Web IDE file editor, except for the [dark theme](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/209808) and
2021-01-03 14:25:43 +05:30
the [Solarized dark theme](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219228),
2020-07-01 16:08:20 +05:30
which apply to the entire Web IDE screen.

## Behavior
The following settings allow you to customize the behavior of GitLab's layout
and default views of your dashboard and the projects' landing pages.
### Layout width
GitLab can be set up to use different widths depending on your liking. Choose
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
between the fixed (max. `1280px`) and the fluid (`100%`) application layout.
NOTE: **Note:**
While `1280px` is the standard max width when using fixed layout, some pages still use 100% width, depending on the content.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
### Default dashboard
For users who have access to a large number of projects but only keep up with a
select few, the amount of activity on the default Dashboard page can be
overwhelming. Changing this setting allows you to redefine what your default
dashboard will be.
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
You have 8 options here that you can use for your default dashboard view:
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
- Your projects (default)
- Starred projects
- Your projects' activity
- Starred projects' activity
- Your groups
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
- Your [to-dos](../todos.md)
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
- Assigned Issues
- Assigned Merge Requests
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30

2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
### Group overview content
The **Group overview content** dropdown allows you to choose what information is
displayed on a groups home page.
You can choose between 2 options:
- Details (default)
- [Security dashboard](../application_security/security_dashboard/index.md) **(ULTIMATE)**
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
### Project overview content
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
2021-01-03 14:25:43 +05:30
The **Project overview content** setting allows you to choose what content you want to
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
see on a projects home page.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
### Tab width
You can set the displayed width of tab characters across various parts of
GitLab, for example, blobs, diffs, and snippets.
NOTE: **Note:**
Some parts of GitLab do not respect this setting, including the WebIDE, file
editor and Markdown editor.

## Integrations
Configure your preferences with third-party services which provide enhancements to your GitLab experience.
### Sourcegraph
NOTE: **Note:**
This setting is only visible if Sourcegraph has been enabled by a GitLab administrator.
Manage the availability of integrated code intelligence features powered by
Sourcegraph. View [the Sourcegraph feature documentation](../../integration/sourcegraph.md#enable-sourcegraph-in-user-preferences)
for more information.
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
### Gitpod
Enable and disable the [GitLab-Gitpod integration](../../integration/gitpod.md). This is only

<!-- ## Troubleshooting
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
questions that you know someone might ask.
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
