How Do I Turn On Dark Mode or Change Grok Bot's Language?

Short answer

Open Settings → General. Under Appearance, set Theme to Dark, and pick your language from the Language list. Both start on Follow System, so the app matches your computer until you change them.

As of Oct 26, 2026 (Grok Bot desktop app v0.75.8).

Grok Bot Settings, General, Appearance: the Theme dropdown open with Follow System, Light and Dark

Steps

Open Settings: press Ctrl+, (Cmd+, on Mac). You land on General.
Theme: choose Dark, Light or Follow System. Quicker: press Ctrl+K and type “Theme: Dark”.
Language: open the list, type to search (for example “English”), and click it.

The Language dropdown open with a search box, Follow System ticked, then Afrikaans, Arabic, Bangla, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi

Accent colour

Accent has two options: Black, or Bot color, which uses each Bot’s own colour.

Good to know

xAI’s docs say desktop has more than 20 languages. Phones have a shorter list, and the follow-device option there is called System.
Language changes the app’s menus. To change the language the Bot speaks in a call, use the voice settings. See changing the voice.
