Themes & appearance
Change how UFO looks — pick a theme, set the workspace accent color, put a picture behind the chat, fine-tune every color, and change text size or language.
Most look-and-feel settings are personal and stay on the device you set them on. The accent color is the exception: it belongs to the workspace.
| You want to | Where |
|---|---|
| Change the whole look | Settings → Preferences → Appearance → Theme |
| Put a picture behind the chat | Settings → Preferences → Appearance → Chat Background |

Pick a theme
Settings → Preferences → Appearance → Theme, then click a card. Each card is a live preview. The theme applies to this browser or app only — set it on each device you use.
| Theme | Look |
|---|---|
| Noir | Deep, premium dark (default) |
| Light | Clean and airy |
| Casual | The original UFO look |
| Kitsch | Retro Y2K pop, holo & chrome |
| Vista | Aero glass, 2007 aurora |
| Macintosh | It is 1984 again |
| Geek | Green phosphor terminal |
| Otaku | Anime workspace, sakura accents |
| Starship | Voyaging through deep space |
Set the workspace accent color
A workspace admin can give the workspace its own color:
- Open Settings → General.
- Under Accent Color, pick a swatch.
- Press Save Changes.
Everyone in the workspace sees it. It shows with the Noir and Casual themes; the other themes keep their own built-in accent.
Put a picture behind the chat
- Open Settings → Preferences → Appearance.
- Under Chat Background, press Upload image and choose a picture.
- Drag Opacity to taste — it stays faint so messages are easy to read.
Change image swaps it; Remove takes it away. Like themes, the background is for this browser or app only.
Fine-tune every color
Settings → Preferences → Appearance → Theme (advanced) → Customize colors. Change any color — background, text, links, accent, borders and more. Your changes apply on top of the current theme, on this browser only.
- Export saves your colors as a file; Import loads one — a quick way to share a look or move it to another computer.
- Reset goes back to the theme's own colors.
Change text size or language
Settings → Preferences → General:
- Font size — scales chat and other text on this device.
- Language — the app's language on this device: English, 한국어, 日本語, 中文 or Español.
The language agents reply in is a separate, workspace-wide setting: Settings → General → Language.
