📌 Why this matters

Personalizing your Postman workspace theme — whether switching to dark mode, light mode, or syncing with your system settings — improves readability and reduces eye strain during long API development sessions. Postman's built-in theme settings give developers full control over their interface appearance without any additional configuration. The option to sync the theme with your operating system ensures a consistent visual experience across all tools. This small but impactful customization helps teams maintain focus and comfort throughout their API testing and development workflows.
