# Settings

Settings is where you control how Glaze looks, how you summon the agent, and how the keyboard behaves while you build. To open Settings, click the avatar menu in the sidebar and choose **Settings**.

## Account

The **Account** tab displays your profile (display name and avatar), your plan, and your credits. For more information about your account, see [Manage Account](/account/manage-account).

## General

The **General** tab has two sections. **Appearance** sets the app's theme, and the **Agent** section holds the agent shortcut, the keyboard behavior in Agent Chat, and your custom instructions.

### Appearance

Under **Appearance**, choose the **Theme** for the Glaze app:

- **Auto** follows your Mac's system appearance, switching with it between light and dark.
- **Light** and **Dark** keep Glaze in that mode regardless of your system setting.

> [!NOTE]
> This theme controls the Glaze app's own windows. It does not change the look of the apps you build or use from the Store.

### Agent Shortcut

The **Agent Shortcut** is a global hotkey that opens the agent from anywhere, even when Glaze isn't focused. There's no default, so it's blank until you set one.

- **Record**: Click **Record** and press the combination you want, such as `⌘` `⇧` `Space`. Glaze saves it the moment you finish pressing the shortcut. Press `Esc` while recording to cancel.
- **Change or Clear**: Click the shortcut to record a new combination, or click **the clear button** to remove it.

Once set, pressing the shortcut opens the agent and readies it for a new prompt. If the combination is already used by another app, Glaze flags it as invalid or in use, so you can pick a different one.

### Send Message

**Send Message** decides which key sends your prompt in Agent Chat:

- **Return** (Default): `↵` sends the message, and `⇧` `↵` inserts a newline.
- **Command Return**: `⌘` `↵` sends the message, and `↵` inserts a newline.

### Follow-up Behavior

When the agent is already running and you send another message, **Follow-up Behavior** decides what happens to it:

- **Queue** (Default): Your follow-up waits and runs after the current work finishes.
- **Steer**: Your follow-up interrupts the current run and steers the agent right away.

Whichever you choose, press `⌘` `↵` to do the opposite for a single message. See [Iterating](/prompting/iterating) for when each is useful.

### Custom Instructions

**Custom Instructions** are notes the agent includes in every session by default, such as a coding preference or a style you want across your apps. Click **Custom Instructions** to open the editor, write your instructions, and choose **Save**. They apply to new work going forward, so you don't have to repeat yourself in each prompt.

## Teams

If you belong to one or more teams, each Team gets its own tab here for managing that team, and a **New Team** option lets you create one. See [Get Started with Teams](/team/get-started) for how Glaze Teams work.
