# Profile preferences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A user's profile preferences page allows the user to customize various aspects
|
|
|
|
|
|
of GitLab to their liking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To navigate to your profile's preferences, click your avatar icon in the top
|
|
|
|
|
|
right corner and select **Settings**. From there on, choose the **Preferences**
|
|
|
|
|

## Syntax highlighting theme
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>**Note:**
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab uses the [rouge Ruby library][rouge] for syntax highlighting. For a
|
|
|
|
|
|
list of supported languages visit the rouge website.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changing this setting allows you to customize the color theme when viewing any
|
|
|
|
|
|
syntax highlighted code on GitLab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default one is **White**, and you can choose among 5 different colors:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- White
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Dark
|
|

## Behavior
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following settings allow you to customize the behavior of GitLab's layout
|
|
|
|
|
|
and default views of your dashboard and the projects' landing pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Layout width
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab can be set up to use different widths depending on your liking. Choose
|
|
|
|
|
|
between the fixed (max. 1200px) and the fluid (100%) application layout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Default dashboard
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For users who have access to a large number of projects but only keep up with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
select few, the amount of activity on the default Dashboard page can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
overwhelming. Changing this setting allows you to redefine what your default
|
|
|
|
|
|
dashboard will be.
|
|
|
