Configure
Go to account preferences settings to update your workspace theme. If you use Linear on multiple platforms (e.g. desktop app, browser, mobile), you'll have to update the theme on each platform individually as this setting is one of the few that is not synced across platforms.
Basics
Dark mode
Since day one, we've offered dark mode as an option in Linear. Select light or dark mode as a preference or choose system preference if you'd like the app to switch based on your computer settings.
Transparent sidebar
From version 1.6.0 onwards, this setting is enabled by default and your sidebar will have transparency in all themes. If you're not seeing transparency in dark themes, you can turn on Dark in Mac system preferences under General > Appearance.
Custom themes
We offer a selection of default themes that you can apply to Linear.
