New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see.

This article covers Light Theme and Dark Theme in the New Horizon Experience. Every signed-in member can change the colors they see on that account and device.

Use it when you want a lighter or darker look. The pages and tools stay the same. Only the colors change. Finding the account menu is covered in How to find your way around New Horizon.

Both layouts are in use right now. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps you see the New Horizon Experience. On a computer or laptop, the older legacy layout stays until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Match the steps to the screen in front of you.


Switch Light Theme and Dark Theme

Open your account menu (your name or photo). If you are on the light colors you see Dark Theme. If you are already on dark you see Light Theme. Only one of those two appears at a time. Choose the one you want. Your choice is saved for that account on that device.

If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout

On the older layout, organization administrators may still see a System Colors tab on System Settings. Those organization-wide colors are discontinued on New Horizon. Stored association colors are left unchanged for any remaining older screens. New Horizon pages and the Horizon WebRef mobile apps use Light Theme and Dark Theme instead. There is no System Colors tab on upgraded System Settings.

If you want a darker or lighter look on New Horizon, switch from the older layout with Try the New Horizon Experience, then use Dark Theme or Light Theme in the account menu.
