There are a few adjustable interface preferences. Also included is a built-in theme editor for creating your own TrueNAS color schemes.

To access user preferences, click > Preferences. This page has options to adjust global settings in the web interface. There are also options to manage custom themes and create new themes.

InterfacePreferences

Tuning the Visibility of UI Elements.

Click the Choose Theme dropdown list to change the color appearance of the web interface. Select from a range of prebuilt or custom created themes. The High Contrast option offers the most visibility.

Select Prefer buttons with icons only when working with limited screen space. This displays icons and tooltips without text labels.

For increased security, clear the Enable Password Toggle checkbox. This removes all the icons next to password fields. It prevents the actual password characters from being visible.

Creating a Custom Theme

To create a custom theme, click CREATE NEW THEME.
