The ADMINS panel icon is shown at the top of the screen, as the rightmost of the four icons.

4. Click on the Settings Tab of The Admins Panel¶

The Setting tab is located in the upper left corner of the Admins panel, just under the header "ADMINS".

Once you have clicked on the Settings tab, click on the Theme dropdown list located near the bottom of the window.

The theme dropdown list can be found at the bottom of the settings page, just above the icon button.

Once you have chosen your desired theme and clicked the confirm button, you will be presented with a pop-up window asking you to choose when you would like the theme to be loaded. The two available options are:

Later: Choosing this option will load the theme the next time you login to the environment.
Reload: Choosing this option will immediately load the theme into your environment.

A pop-up window will be presented with options to reload the environment at a later date or to reload immediately.

Depending on the option you choose, your theme will reload immediately or upon your next successful login.

The background and color scheme will be updated to match the new theme.
