|
||
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**
|
||
tab.

||
## Syntax highlighting theme
|
||
|
||
>**Note:**
|
||
GitLab uses the [rouge Ruby library][rouge] for syntax highlighting. For a
|
||

|
||
|
||
Changing this setting allows you to customize the color theme when viewing any
|
||

|
||
|
||

|
||
- Solarized dark
