    2. Select the theme you want to override the Next Experience theme with.
    3. Right-click the header and select Copy sys_id.
      Copy sys id
    4. In the application navigator field, type sys_properties.list and press Enter.
    5. Select New.
    6. Fill in the System Property form.
      System property form used to override the next experience theme.
      • Name the system property glide.ui.polaris.theme.custom.
      • Set the type value to string.
      • In the value field, paste the sys_id you copied in step 3.
      • A Suffix field will appear on the System Property form when you want to apply a custom theme to a specific application scope. This field is required.
    7. Select Submit.
      Your custom theme appears. If necessary, refresh your browser.
      Note:
      If, for any reason, you decide to revert back to the Polaris theme, repeat steps 4 through 7, replacing the sys_id in the Value field with the sys_id of the Polaris theme. You can also delete the glide.ui.polaris.theme.custom system property.
