Customize Your ClickUp Workspace Appearance and Theme

In ClickUp, you can quickly customize your Workspace appearance, switch between themes, and choose light or dark mode so your setup feels comfortable and easy to use every day.

This guide walks you through every option available to personalize colors, themes, and appearance settings in your Workspace.

Open Your ClickUp Workspace Settings

To start changing how your Workspace looks, open the appearance settings from your avatar menu.

1. Sign in to your ClickUp account.

2. In the lower-left corner, click your avatar.

3. From the menu that appears, select Settings.

4. In the sidebar of the settings page, locate the section that controls your Workspace appearance and theme options.

Once you are in the settings area, you can adjust themes, colors, and additional appearance preferences.

Choose a ClickUp Light or Dark Mode Theme

You can switch between light and dark styles to match your environment and personal preference.

1. In your Workspace appearance settings, look for the Theme or Mode options.

2. Select Light mode if you prefer a bright interface.

3. Select Dark mode for a darker interface that can be easier on the eyes in low-light conditions.

These global settings update the overall interface colors throughout your ClickUp Workspace, including pages, menus, and many UI elements.

Apply a Preset ClickUp Theme

Beyond basic light and dark options, you can apply preset themes to quickly refresh your Workspace style.

1. In the appearance settings, find the list of available preset themes.

2. Hover over each theme preview to see its color style.

3. Click a theme to apply it to your account.

The preset you choose may adjust colors in the sidebar, top navigation, and certain interactive elements, giving your ClickUp view a consistent color palette.

Customize Sidebar Colors in ClickUp

The sidebar is where you access Spaces, Favorites, and key navigation items. You can change its color to better match your preferred theme or branding.

1. In the appearance or theme section, locate the option to customize the Sidebar.

2. Choose a preset color or open a color picker if available.

3. Apply the new color and check how it looks with your current theme.

A well-chosen sidebar color makes it easier to distinguish key navigation areas and improves visual comfort while using ClickUp for long periods.

Adjust Filter and Highlight Colors in ClickUp

You can fine-tune colors used for filters and highlights to keep important information visible at a glance.

1. In your appearance settings, locate options related to Filters or Highlight colors.

2. Select a color that stands out clearly against your current theme background.

3. Apply the changes and open a view with filters to confirm the new look.

Changing these colors can make it easier to see which items are filtered or highlighted when managing tasks across multiple views in ClickUp.

Manage Additional ClickUp Appearance Options

Depending on your current version and Workspace configuration, you may see extra appearance controls designed to improve readability and focus.

Toggle Subtle Interface Details in ClickUp

Some options may include controls to reduce visual noise or emphasize key elements.

• Show or hide subtle borders or background shading.

• Adjust how certain inactive elements appear.

• Fine-tune interface accents to support your chosen theme.

These adjustments help you create a balanced visual experience that supports productivity while working in ClickUp.

Check Theme Behavior Across Views in ClickUp

After applying a new theme or color settings, browse several areas of your Workspace.

• Open List, Board, and Calendar views.

• Check Spaces and Folders in the sidebar.

• Review filters, highlights, and selected tasks.

This quick review helps confirm that text remains easy to read and that key actions still stand out in your customized ClickUp layout.

Revert or Update Your ClickUp Theme Anytime

You can change your mind at any time and switch themes, colors, or modes again.

1. Return to Settings from your avatar menu.

2. Open the Appearance or Theme section.

3. Select a different preset or change your light and dark mode choice.

Your selections take effect immediately, so you can test several options and keep the combination that feels best for your workflow in ClickUp.
