# General

> Choose a theme, greeting weather, and how the app behaves when you close it.

General is theme, greeting weather, and app behavior. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Settings**, then **General**.

## 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](https://developers.webai.com/settings/ai.md).

## App behavior

These rows appear on desktop.

* **Start on login**: Opens webAI when you sign in to this computer.
* **Background mode**: Keeps webAI in the tray when you close the window.
* **Notifications**: Shows system notifications when the app is in the background. **Test notifications** sends a sample.
* **Quicklaunch shortcut**: Turns on the global shortcut for the quicklaunch panel.
* **Hold ⌘Q to Quit**: Hold **⌘Q** for 1 second, or double-tap **⌘Q**, to quit.
