Change the Appearance of Your Budget
Did you ever want your budget to look just a little different? Maybe you're a night owl and want Dark Mode. Maybe your sidebar just isn't wide enough to contain all the digits in your account balance. Maybe your memo field is where you're sketching out the outline of your next novel and that column needs to be really wide. Good news! You can adjust all these settings in YNAB.

Looking for these themes on the mobile app?
The mobile app has the Default Theme by, well, default. You can have Dark Mode on mobile by following these steps. The only theme you won't find on mobile is Classic.
How to Resize Your Sidebar
- To adjust the sidebar width, click and drag on the vertical line that separates your sidebar from your budget. You can customize this completely, to hide just your account balances or show your entire account name. Both the left and right sidebars can be adjusted.
- The left sidebar can be collapsed completely by clicking the arrow icon at the bottom of the left sidebar to collapse it. Clicking the arrow again magically opens your sidebar to your last-used width!
How to Resize Your Account Register Columns
Similar to the sidebars, the columns in your account register can be resized, too!
- Click and drag between the column headers to re-size the columns.
- Adjusting one account register won't impact the others, so you can customize each register to your needs.
