# 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, select **Settings** and then choose **Preferences** from the
|
||
left sidebar.
|
||
|
||
## Navigation theme
|
||
|
||
The GitLab navigation theme setting allows you to personalize your GitLab experience.
|
||
You can choose from several color themes that add unique colors to the top navigation
|
||
and left side navigation.
|
||
Using individual color themes might help you differentiate between your different
|
||
GitLab instances.
|
||
|
||
The default palette is Indigo. You can choose between 10 different themes:
|
||
|
||
- Indigo
|
||
- Light Indigo
|
||
- Blue
|
||
- Light Blue
|
||
- Green
|
||

|
||
- Red
|
||
- Light Red
|
||
- Dark
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Syntax highlighting theme
|
||
|
||
NOTE: **Note:**
|
||
GitLab uses the [rouge Ruby library](http://rouge.jneen.net/ "Rouge website")
|
||
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 syntax theme is White, and you can choose among 5 different colors:
|
||
|
||
- White
|
||
- Dark
|
||
- Solarized light
|
||
- Solarized dark
|
||
- Monokai
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 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. `1280px`) and the fluid (`100%`) application layout.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: **Note:**
|
||
While `1280px` is the standard max width when using fixed layout, some pages still use 100% width, depending on the content.
|
||
|
||
### 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.
|
||
|
||
You have 8 options here that you can use for your default dashboard view:
|
||
|
||
- Your projects (default)
|
||
- Starred projects
|
||
- Your projects' activity
|
||
- Starred projects' activity
|
||
- Your groups
|
||
- Your [Todos](../../workflow/todos.md)
|
||
- Assigned Issues
|
||
- Assigned Merge Requests
|
||
|
||
### Project overview content
|
||
|
||
The project overview content setting allows you to choose what content you want to
|
||
see on a project’s home page.
|
||
|
||
You can choose between 3 options:
|
||
|
||
- Files and Readme (default)
|
||
- Readme
|
||
- Activity
|
||
|
||
## Localization
|
||
|
||
### First day of the week
|
||
|
||
The first day of the week can be customised for calendar views and date pickers.
|
||
|
||
You can choose **Sunday** or **Monday** as the first day of the week. If you select **System Default**, the system-wide default setting will be used.
