Looking for it for about an hour now. I have two active themes but I don’t know how to switch between them. Maybe it’s some general setting that Users cannot change themes, but I can’t find that either.

Preferences\interface Uploading: Screenshot_20250419-165529.png… [The image shows interface settings for managing theme and color palette options, with a notification bar at the top and options for setting a default theme on all devices below. (Captioned by AI)] This TC adds a switch to sidebar like here on :discourse: [image] Sidebar Theme Toggle Theme component discourse2 Summary Sidebar Theme Toggle adds a theme selector in the sidebar menu’s footer provided there is more than 1 user selectable theme. This selector works with both logged-on users and anonymous users. Be sure to add this to all your user-selectable themes for easy toggling. hammer_and_wrench Repository Link https://github.com/discourse/discourse-sidebar-theme-toggle open_book New to Discourse Themes?

Did you enable Theme can be selected by users for both themes? [Screenshot_20250419_215413_Chrome] Then you should see a dropdown in the interface preferences of your profile. Here at Meta you can select a theme at https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/interface

Yes, I enabled both themes to be selectable by users. And I have no Theme option in Prefereces/Interface ?! OK. I just logged out and logged in and I now have Theme option. I guess that was the problem, with some changes you need to logout and login I guess?

Maybe that was the case too… CTRL-R was needed at least.

Installed a theme, enabled it, but I cannot find where it can be changed to in user preferences?

I’ve never had to log out after changing something. Refreshing the website has always been sufficient.
