Modern cPanel uses the Jupiter theme. The theme itself is set by the server, but every user can change its style (colours, including a dark style) and the language cPanel is shown in. These settings only affect your own login, not your website.
Before you start
- Access to cPanel. New to the layout? Read the cPanel Jupiter interface tour.
Change the style
- Open cPanel → Preferences → Change Style.
- Pick a style such as Basic, Dark, Light or Retro. Each card has a Preview button.
- Click Apply. The page reloads with the new colours.
If Change Style is missing, your host has limited the theme to a single style; nothing is wrong with your account.
Change the language
- Open cPanel → Preferences → Change Language.
- Choose a language from the list, for example español, Deutsch or العربية.
- Click Change.
You can also choose a language on the cPanel login page before logging in; the selection is remembered for that browser. Webmail has its own language setting inside Roundcube.
Tip: Support staff and most guides use the English menu names. Switch back to English temporarily if you need to follow a guide step by step.
Tidy the home page
- Use the Search Tools box at the top to jump straight to any tool.
- Drag the section headers (Email, Files, Databases …) to reorder them; click a header to collapse sections you never use.
- Click your username at the top right and choose Reset Page Settings to bring back the default layout.
