Change your Webflow theme

Updated
Requirements

Switch Webflow to a Light, Dark, or System theme.

Choose how the Webflow interface looks: Light, Dark, or System, which automatically follows your device setting. This preference saves at the account level, so it follows you across the Dashboard, every Workspace, and every Site. It only changes how the Webflow interface looks and doesn't affect what your published site looks like to visitors.

Theme options

Option What it does
System Matches your device's light or dark setting and updates automatically when your device theme changes.
Light Uses Webflow's light interface.
Dark Uses Webflow's dark interface. You can also choose a dark style: Darker, Default, or Brighter.

To set your theme from the Dashboard:

  1. Open the Webflow Dashboard

  1. Open a site in Webflow

Good to know

  • You can't set different themes for different parts of Webflow (for example, Light Dashboard and Dark Sites) at this time. One preference applies everywhere theme is supported.
  • Some Marketplace apps and Designer extensions may not fully match your theme yet. First-party apps such as HubSpot and Marketo are light-theme compatible.
