# My preferences

Choose how your dashboard looks: its light or dark theme, language and main highlight color.

Come here whenever you want to change the dashboard language or adjust the interface's main color so it better matches your reading comfort. To only switch to dark mode, the **Theme** submenu under your avatar, at the bottom of the sidebar, is enough. These preferences are saved in your browser: they are therefore specific to each device you sign in from.

The dashboard is shown in French, with English captions.

Adjust the values you want then click **Save** to keep them. **Cancel** restores the previous values.

The changes are stored locally in your browser: if you sign in from another computer or browser, you'll need to set them again.
