Customization

Make WebOS your own — themes, wallpapers, accent colors, dock and taskbar layout, visual effects, plugins, and more.

#Desktop Settings app

All customization options are managed through the Desktop Settings app. Open it from the dock, the App Launcher, or by right-clicking the desktop background and selecting Desktop Settings.

#Themes

Choose from four built-in themes:

  • Dark — a dark color scheme for low-light environments
  • Light — a bright, clean theme
  • Mac Light — a macOS-inspired light theme with subtle differences
  • Delegate Brand — the official Delegate brand colors

#Wallpapers

Pick from 10 built-in wallpapers:

  • Delegate, Delegate Ember, Black, Aurora, Ocean, Midnight, Nebula, Forest, Ember, and Slate

You can also set a custom wallpaper by entering any image URL.

#Accent colors

The accent color affects buttons, highlights, active indicators, and interactive elements throughout the desktop. Choose from 10 options:

  • Blue, Delegate Orange, Indigo, Cyan, Emerald, Amber, Rose, Purple, Orange, and White

#Dock settings

Configure the dock's appearance and behavior:

  • Show/hide — toggle the dock on or off
  • Position — bottom, left, top, or right
  • Size — small, medium, or large icons
  • Magnification — toggle the hover magnification effect

#Taskbar settings

Configure the taskbar independently of the dock:

  • Show/hide — toggle the taskbar on or off
  • Position — bottom, top, left, or right

#Desktop icons

Customize the app shortcuts that appear on the desktop surface:

  • Show/hide — toggle desktop icons on or off
  • Choose apps — select which apps appear as desktop shortcuts
  • Icon size — small, medium, or large
  • Layout — arrange icons in a grid or a vertical column

#Window appearance

Fine-tune how windows look:

  • Window opacity — adjust the frosted glass transparency from fully opaque to semi-transparent
  • Font size — choose small, default, or large text across the desktop

#Overlay toolbar

The overlay toolbar is a floating utility bar for quick actions. Configure its position on the left, right, top, or bottom of the screen. Set the toolbar state to static (always visible) or hidden (auto-hides when not in use).

#Visual effects

Toggle optional visual enhancements:

  • Grid overlay — display a subtle grid pattern on the desktop background
  • Particle effects — enable animated particle effects on the desktop

#Clock

Customize the system tray clock:

  • Format — automatic (based on your locale), 12-hour, or 24-hour
  • Show seconds — toggle the seconds display on or off

#Notifications

Control how desktop notifications behave:

  • Notification delay — set a delay (in seconds) before alerts appear on screen
  • Event types — choose which events trigger desktop notifications

#Organizer groups

Create folders to group related apps together. Each organizer group has a custom name, icon, and color. Drag apps into groups to keep your dock and launcher organized.

#Plugins

Extend WebOS with plugins via the Plugin Manager app. Browse available plugins, install or remove them, and customize plugin appearance with icon overrides — set a custom name, change the icon, or hide a plugin from the launcher entirely.

💡Tip
All desktop preferences are saved automatically and persist across sessions. Your layout, theme, wallpaper, and dock configuration are always waiting for you when you return.
