   • Localization and default Region:

     • Language lets you select the default language for console text.

     • Default Region lets you select a default Region that applies each time you log in. You can select any of the available Regions for your account. You can also select the last used Region as your default.

       To learn more about Region routing in the Amazon Web Services Management Console, see Choosing a Region.

   • Display:

     • Visual mode lets you set your console to light mode, dark mode, or the default display mode of your browser.

       Dark mode is a beta feature and might not apply across all Amazon service consoles.

     • Favorites bar display toggles the Favorites bar display between the full service name with its icon or only the service's icon.

     • Favorites bar icon size toggles the size of the service icon on the Favorites bar display between small (16x16 pixels) and large (24x24 pixels).

   • Settings management:

     • Remember recently visited services lets you choose if the Amazon Web Services Management Console remembers your recently visited services. Turning this off also deletes your recently visited services history, so you will no longer see recently visited services in the Service menu, Amazon Console Mobile Application, or on Console Home widgets.

5. Choose Save changes.
