# View the brand and theme setting in your portal experience

View the theme setting for your portal experience in UI Builder. The theme sets the visual style of the experience and provides a consistent look and feel across all pages.

## Before you begin

Role required: ui\_builder\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Now Experience Framework** > **UI Builder**.

2.  Open a portal experience to work in or create an experience by selecting **Create** > **Experience**.

    See [Configure how users interact with your applications in UI Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/ui-builder/work-experiences.md) for more information on creating experiences.

3.  Select **Experience settings** in the UI Builder header.

    \[Omitted image "portal-settings-toggle.png"\] Alt text: Arrow pointing to the settings toggle on the experience view page.

4.  Scroll to the **Branding and theming** section and note what is listed in **Themes**.

    By default, the Polaris theme is applied to UI Builder experiences.


## What to do next

-   **Theme Builder** enables you to create, edit, manage, and apply Next Experience themes using a friendly visual interface. For more information, see [Configuring Next Experience with Theme Builder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-user-interface/configuring-next-experience-with-theme-builder.md).
-   If you are an admin user comfortable working in style records and JSON code, you can create a custom theme to override the default Polaris style. This option gives you the most control over typefaces, colors, and images \(including the banner and logo\) in a theme. For more information, see [Configuring Next Experience themes and preferences](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-user-interface/config-next-experience-themes-prefs.md).
