# Themes Themes are purely visual. Changing the theme does not affect data, workflows, performance or features. They exist to make Fluid feel comfortable for the way you work. ### The six themes All themes are dark by default because most users spend 8+ hours a day in their CRM and a white screen at 6pm is rough on the eyes. * **Graphite**: pure dark grey, focused and neutral. The default theme. * **Midnight**: deep blue, easy on the eyes during evening work * **Ocean**: lighter blue with a calmer feel, less contrast than Midnight * **Forest**: dark green, nature-inspired, low visual fatigue * **Sunset**: warm orange and brown tones, softer feel * **Amethyst**: dark purple with a creative feel You can switch between any of them at any time. The change applies instantly across the entire app. ### When to change themes Different themes suit different situations. * **For long work sessions or low-light environments**: any of the dark themes work well, with Graphite being the most neutral * **For higher contrast and focus**: Graphite or Midnight * **For softer visual fatigue reduction**: Forest, Sunset or Amethyst * **For matching your personal aesthetic**: pick whatever feels right There is no recommended default. Choose what feels best for your daily workflow. ### How to change your theme To switch themes: * Go to Settings * Open the Themes and appearance section * Click the theme you want * The change applies immediately You can switch as often as you want. Some users prefer different themes for different times of day or different work modes. ### What themes affect Theme settings control: * Background colors across all pages * Surface and panel styling * Accent colors for buttons, links and highlights * Color of stage cards on the Deals board * Reminder badge colors (red, green, gray stay consistent across themes) Themes do not change: * Layout or page structure * Feature availability * Keyboard shortcuts * Deal, contact or pipeline behavior * Data or workflows ### Themes are per-user Themes are selected per user account. Your theme choice: * Only affects your own view * Does not change what teammates see * Does not affect workspace settings * Syncs across devices when you log into the same account Each teammate can pick their own preferred theme without affecting anyone else. ### What themes are not Themes are not: * Per-page customizations * Custom brand theming tools (you cannot create your own theme) * Shared workspace settings * Light mode options (all themes are dark by design) If you need a specific color match for client-facing work or screenshots, the closest match is to pick the theme whose accent color is closest to your brand. ### Why themes matter Most CRMs offer one default theme, usually a generic light mode that strains your eyes during long work sessions. Some offer a dark mode toggle but no real variety. Fluid includes six dark themes because the CRM is where you spend hours every day. The right theme reduces eye strain, matches your environment and makes daily work feel less draining. It is not the most important feature. But over thousands of hours of CRM use, it adds up. ### What to read next * Customize deal cards, control which fields show up on cards regardless of theme * Keyboard shortcuts, the navigation that works the same across all themes * Dashboard, see how the home screen looks in your selected theme --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
