</table>## Enable dark theme on your instance

Administrators can enable dark mode on an instance using the `glide.ui.polaris.dark_themes_enabled` system property. For details on dark theme configuration, see [Working with the dark theme](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-user-interface/tb-working-in-dark-theme.md).

**Note:** Dark theme is available as part of the Next Experience UI. You must activate this UI to enable dark theme. For details see [Considerations for activating Next Experience](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-user-interface/next-experience-adoption-paths.md).

## Access dark theme in the mobile UI

As a user, you can switch between the default and dark theme in the **Preferences** section of the **Settings** tab. For details see [Theme settings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/enable-dark-theme.md).
