# Appearance and themes

Choose the color scheme, accent, density, and motion preferences; verify readability in conversation, editor, terminal, and Stage surfaces.

![Appearance and themes in Foxora Desktop v5.0.3](/docs/images/v5.0.3/desktop/settings-appearance.webp)

## Where this lives

Open the **foxora** workspace and keep the left sidebar visible.

The left sidebar contains **New Task**, **Projects**, **Workflows**, and **Schedules**, followed by project and task lists. The center holds the active task and composer; the right side holds Stage or Runs.

> **Safety:** Panel layout is presentation state. Closing a panel should not be treated as stopping an active agent or terminal process.

## Steps

1. Open the **foxora** workspace and keep the left sidebar visible.
2. Choose the color scheme, accent, density, and motion preferences.
3. Verify readability in conversation, editor, terminal, and Stage surfaces.
4. **Confirm the result.** Switch between Tasks, Projects, Workflows, and Schedules and confirm that each destination opens without losing the active composer or task context.

## Choose the right path

- Collapse the Stage for conversation-focused work.
- Open the editor or terminal for builder workflows.
- Use the Command Center for fast navigation and actions.


## Confirm it worked

- Switch between Tasks, Projects, Workflows, and Schedules and confirm that each destination opens without losing the active composer or task context.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
