Change your theme

Orbit has two themes, Teams light and Teams dark. You choose between them with Auto, Light or Dark.

  1. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar.
  2. Under your name and email, pick Auto (the screen icon), Light (the sun) or Dark (the moon).

The theme applies instantly and the menu stays open, so you can compare. Your choice is saved to your account and follows you across your devices.

You can also open the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+J), type >, and run Auto, Light or Dark.

Auto is the default. It uses Teams dark when your device is in dark mode and Teams light in light mode, and switches when your device does. Inside Microsoft Teams it follows the Teams theme.

Both themes restyle the whole app: chrome, editor, code syntax highlighting and rendered pages.

If you picked one of Orbit’s earlier themes, Orbit now shows Teams dark for a dark one and Teams light for a light one.

On mobile, open Settings from the bottom bar and pick Auto, Light or Dark in the Appearance section. See Use Orbit on your phone.

Does my theme affect other people? No. Themes are personal. Everyone viewing the same page sees their own theme.

Do exports use my theme? No. PDF and Word exports use a neutral document style regardless of your theme.
