# Yandex Browser appearance

You can switch to the dark theme and change the background on which the [SmartBox](https://yandex.kz/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/navigation/search.md#smartbox) and [Tableau](https://yandex.kz/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/personal-settings/tableau.md) appear in new [tabs](https://yandex.kz/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/navigation/tabs.md).

## Dark theme {#theme}

By default, Yandex Browser elements (like tabs and the [SmartBox](https://yandex.kz/support/browser-mobile-iphone/en/navigation/search.md#smartbox)) are displayed on a light background. To change your Yandex Browser theme:

1. Tap  <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M3 6H21V8H3V6Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 11H21V13H3V11Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 16H21V18H3V16Z" fill="currentcolor"/></svg> → **Settings** → **General** → **Interface theme**.

1. Select one of the options:

    - **Always dark**
    - **Always light**
    - **System settings**

{% cut "**In the Home page settings**" %}

 On the [settings page](https://yandex.com/tune/common), go to **General** → **External appearance** and select **Always dark**. 

{% endcut %}

{% cut "**In the search results**" %}

{% note info %}

To select the theme for search result pages, log in with your [Yandex ID](https://passport.yandex.com/profile).

{% endnote %}

1. Scroll up the search results page.

2. In the top-right corner, tap your profile picture.

3. Tap **Appearance** → **Always dark**.

{% endcut %}



## Yandex Browser background {#change}

You can use images as the background:


{% cut "**From the Background gallery**" %}

1. Tap <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M3 6H21V8H3V6Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 11H21V13H3V11Z" fill="currentcolor"/><path d="M3 16H21V18H3V16Z" fill="currentcolor"/></svg> → **Background gallery**.

2. Select an image from an album and tap **Apply**.


{% note info %}

You can configure the browser to randomly alternate images or videos from your **Background gallery** every 24 hours. 
- **For one album**. Select the desired album in the **Backgrounds gallery** and tap **Rotate backgrounds in this album**.
- **For all albums**. In **Background gallery**, tap **Alternate backgrounds daily**.

{% endnote %}


{% endcut %}

{% endnote %}



## FAQ {#backgrounds-problems}


{% cut "**I changed the theme in the browser settings, but the yandex.com theme hasn't changed**" %}


The appearance of the Yandex Home page, search results, and services isn't linked to Yandex Browser. To make the yandex.com theme match the one in Yandex Browser, select the **System settings** option in the [home page settings](#search-theme).


{% endcut %}

{% cut "**The yandex.com theme hasn't changed**" %}


If the home page theme hasn't changed after you selected **System settings** for the [home page appearance](#search-theme), you might have selected a light or dark theme in the browser settings.

Select **System settings** for [Yandex Browser](#theme) as well.


{% endcut %}


{% cut "**The background changed by itself**" %}
