Enable the dark theme only in configurable workspaces

task brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read tb-enable-dark-theme-config-workspaces.md

Enable the Next Experience dark theme in configurable workspaces only, and not for the classic environment. The dark theme emits less blue light, making the display easier for your eyes and less disturbing in low-light settings.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Procedure

Navigate to All and in the filter navigator, search for sys_properties.list.
In the list search bar, search for glide.ui.polaris.dark_themes_enabled.
Enable the dark theme in all of your Next Experience configurable workspaces by setting glide.ui.polaris.dark_themes_enabled to True.
In the list search bar, search for glide.ui.polaris.core_ui_exclude_dark_mode.
Exclude the dark theme in the classic environment by setting glide.ui.polaris.core_ui_exclude_dark_mode to True.

Note: If you select the dark theme, the dark theme only applies to the configurable workspaces. The classic environment remains in the default theme.
