Activate a Theme

To customize your users’ visual experience, activate a theme that reflects your brand. Activate a custom theme that celebrates your brand identity, or use a built-in theme with preset color palettes and images. Either way, a theme elevates your Salesforce org and enhances the user experience.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions
User Permissions Needed

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Themes and Branding, and then select Themes and Branding.
  2. Click Dropdown icon next to the custom or built-in theme that you want to learn more about or activate.
    1. To see the theme details, such as colors, images, and accessibility settings, click View.
    2. To test how your org looks with the theme applied, click Preview.
    3. To apply the theme to your org and immediately make it visible to your users, click Activate.
  3. To activate a theme after you view or preview it, from the theme’s view page, click Activate.
  4. If your org currently uses a Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) 1 theme and you activate an SLDS 2 theme, click Activate again to confirm that you intend to activate SLDS 2 for your org. Similarly, if your org currently uses an SLDS 2 theme and you activate an SLDS 1 theme, click Activate again to confirm that you intend to disable SLDS 2 for your org.
Note
Note When you activate an SLDS 2 theme, you enable SLDS 2 for your org. If you change your active theme from an SLDS 2 theme to an SLDS 1 theme, you disable SLDS 2 for your org. See Transition to SLDS 2.

When you activate a theme, it’s immediately applied to your org and visible to your users.

Most built-in themes don’t support customizations, but in some editions, you can enable dark mode (beta) for built-in or custom SLDS 2 themes.
