    Description

       

      Note: We’re updating this ticket to reflect the progress of the themes in Jira project which is moving into beta as of this date: 19/04/2023

      We’re moving into beta! That means you’ll no longer need to opt-in through Jira labs to change the appearance of your Jira Cloud Products.

      Our biggest milestone moving into beta is that marketplace apps have begun transitioning to being compatible with dark theme! We’ve worked out most of the bugs that were identified during the early access phase, thanks to the community. We know there could be a few more things to fix up, so we’re still eager to hear more feedback while the project is in the beta phase.

      How to use themes

      There are a few ways to change the theme on your Jira Cloud products. You can still control your theme from your Personal Settings page just like before. But for beta, we’ve added a new and extra fast theme-switching method via the Account icon on the top navigation bar.

      If you’d like to chose a theme via the Account icon on the top navigation bar:

      1. Select your Account icon in the top navigation bar.
      2. Select Theme.
      3. Select the theme you’d like to use.

       

       

      If you’d like to chose a theme via your Personal settings page:

      1. Go to Settings > Personal Jira settings.
      2. Scroll down the page to Theme.
      3. Select the theme you’d like to use.

       

      Selecting Match system will sync the theme to your device. If you’re using a device that has a dark or light theme, Jira will match that.

      If you’re an admin with more than 10 users on your site and you don’t want this feature available in your instance, please contact our support team.

      What to expect

      The majority of our products are looking pretty sweet in the new themes, but there are a few bits and bobs that are definitely a work in progress. It won’t affect all our users, but depending on your setup, those areas might look a little odd during the beta period.

      If you find parts of Jira that don’t look quite right with the new themes, please give us feedback through the feedback link on your Personal settings page.
