# Give each person their own look

The kids can have neon, you can have the calm one, and the kitchen tablet can match the wall. Admins set what the home starts with, and every person changes the rest on their own.

## Before you start

- Admins set the home's starting choices. Anyone can set their own.
- About five minutes.

## Step 1: Open Settings on This home (Computer)

Open **Settings**. The bar above the dock reads **Settings for**. With **This home** selected, what you pick applies to everyone who has not picked their own.

## Step 2: Pick the home's look (Computer)

In **Theme**, pick the theme the home starts with. In **Dashboards**, set **Main dashboard**. In **Dock**, set **Display mode** to Floating, Fixed or Hidden. In **General**, set **Dark mode**, **Blur** and **Reduce motion**.

## Step 3: Switch to Just me (Computer)

Tap **Just me** in the bar, then change the rows you want. For **Dark mode**, **Auto** follows **Sunset to sunrise**, or **Custom times** you set. Members land here straight away; they have no bar.

## Step 4: See Use home's (Computer)

A row you changed for yourself shows **Use home's**, on either tab, so you always see why a home change skips your screen.

## Step 5: Bring back the home's choice (Computer)

Tap **Use home's**. The row follows the home again.

## You are done when

Each person's screen shows their own theme, dashboard, dock and dark mode. Changing the home's choices later only moves the people who have not picked their own. Admins can also set someone's choices from their card in People & Devices. For who can see and change what, see [People & access](/docs/dash/people-and-access).
