Change the appearance color theme on your phone

The phones provide six wallpapers with predefined dark and light themes. You can choose a different color theme to personalize the user interface on your phone. Each theme uses a unique color palette that significantly alters the overall appearance of the user interface.

If your administrator has deployed custom wallpapers, you can apply them and choose your desired color theme. Additionally, if your administrator has added the corporate logo, it will replace the time and date display on the home screen when you select it.

Switching the appearance theme doesn't require a phone restart.

  • You administrator can specify the wallpaper and the color theme on your phone and hide the appearance settings. In this case, you can't change the settings.
  • Cisco Desk Phone 9841 doesn't support the appearance features.
