## Dark theme {#theme}

1. Select one of the options:

    - **Always dark**
    - **Always light**

 On the [settings page](https://yandex.com/tune/common), go to **General** → **External appearance** and select **Always dark**. 

{% endcut %}

{% cut "**In the search results**" %}

{% note info %}
