Is there a way to do this? I mean settings as in using the dark theme, index patterns, etc.

You can do so with the `kibana.yml` file as of 6.5: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/21628](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/21628).

Your configuration would look something like this:

```auto
uiSettings:
  overrides:
    "theme:darkMode": true

```
