Setting a new theme for the current user#

Changing the theme for your own account is a straightforward process:

4. Apply your theme
   From the dropdown menu, choose the theme you wish to apply to your account. This setting will change the appearance of the Webmin interface only for you and will not affect other users.

5. Refresh your browser
   After selecting your new theme, the change should be immediate. However, if you do not see the change, try refreshing your browser to load the new theme.
