How to change your cPanel style?



You can change the look and feel of the cPanel admin interface by changing its theme. Be advised that some features are only accessible when through a particular theme.

Currently, XtraOrbit supports the following cPanel themes:

  • Paper Lantern: This is most modern theme of cPanel, and the successor to the x3 theme. It has a new attractive look and feel, and it is easier to use.  
  • x3: This is the legacy cPanel theme. If you are an old customer with us, this is probably the theme you are familiar with.
If your account is currently using the x3 theme, you can change it to the new Paper Lantern theme.

To change your theme to Paper Lanetern , please follow these steps:

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. On the cPanel home screen, in the Switch Theme list box, select paper_lantern.
  3. cPanel switches to the Paper Lantern theme immediately.

Tip: The Paper Lantern theme has a completely new look and feel. If you are familiar with the older x3 theme, you can take a while to adjust to the new one. This is why Paper Lantern includes a Retro style. It is similar in appearance to the old x3 theme, and can help ease the transition to the new interface.
