# Customizing Your Experience ## Display Preferences You can modify the look and feel of Lab Atlas from the User Preferences menu. Click on the 'Preferences' icon in the menu bar to open the Preferences screen.

### Sidebar Mode By default, the sidebar is set to **Sticky** mode, where it will always be fully visible and within the view frame, even if you scroll down the page. In **Fixed** mode, the sidebar will still be full-size, but will scroll away as you move down the page. In **Compact** mode, the sidebar takes up much less space and only the icons for each menu items is displayed by default (hovering over the menu will show options).

### Theme A number of colorful themes are also available for customizing the look of Lab Atlas. The **Default** theme provides some contrast between light and dark elements. If you prefer a different experience, try out the **Light** and **Dark** themes.
