Choose a theme

1

Open General

Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then Settings, then General.
2

Pick a theme

Click System, Light, or Dark. The app switches to that theme. The preview on the card is not a separate control.
System follows your device’s light or dark setting, and updates when that setting changes. Light stays light. Dark stays dark. The Appearance row on the account menu sets the same choice.

Weather-based greetings

1

Turn weather on

Turn on Weather-based greetings. That uses your location to look up weather for the greeting. When it succeeds, the row names the city. If the lookup fails, weather stays off.
2

Refresh the city

Click Refresh on Update location to look up the city again. If that fails, the saved city stays as it was.
Turn Weather-based greetings off to stop using weather in the greeting. That does not clear the greeting history. Clear on Clear greeting history resets the personalization patterns used in the greeting. It does not ask you to confirm. It does not turn weather off, and it does not remove a saved memory. Long-term memory lives under AI.

​
