Under `Management > Advanced Setting > "dashboard:defaultDarkTheme"` you can set this field to True, which will affect the dashboard to be dark themed. Anyhow, the dark theme is global right now . ![27%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/9/99561b8e74ca6374031c97f725a930fab1c2ca1f.png) Thanks Rashmi ---
