Your dashboard doesn't have to look like everyone else's. You can give it a color scheme you enjoy and switch a few settings on or off so it works the way you do.

## Before you start

- You're logged in to your site's dashboard.
- You're opening your own profile page — these settings only change what you see.

## Steps

### Step 1: Open your profile

In the left sidebar, click **Users**, then **Profile**. Everything you change here is in the **Personal Options** section near the top of the page.

## What you can change

- **Administration Color Scheme** repaints the sidebar and the top bar — **Default** is the one you have now.
- **Disable the visual editor when writing** swaps the block editor for plain HTML.
- **Disable syntax highlighting when editing code** turns off the code editor's colors.
- **Enable keyboard shortcuts for comment moderation** adds quick keys for working through comments.
- **Show Toolbar when viewing site** keeps the top bar in view while you browse your own site.
- **Disable infinite scrolling in the Media Library grid view** loads your media in pages instead of one endless scroll.

### Step 2: Save your changes

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click **Update Profile**. Your dashboard picks up the new look straight away.

## Tips

- Your color scheme is yours alone — other people on the site keep the one they picked.
- Not sure about a palette? Try it and come back. You can switch again whenever you like.
- These options never change what visitors see on your site, only what you see in the dashboard.

## Summary

Open **Users** → **Profile**, choose a color scheme, flip the personal options that suit you, and click **Update Profile** to keep them.
