Appearance settings change how Raven looks for you: the theme, where messages sit, how times show, and how images and links show in messages.
Open them from Settings > Appearance. To open Settings, click your photo at the bottom of the left rail, then click Settings.

|---|---|---|
| Theme | Automatic, Light, Dark | Automatic follows the light or dark setting of your device. |
| Chat Layout | Simple, Left-Right | Simple puts every message on the left. Left-Right puts your own messages on the right. |
| Image group layout | Stack, Grid | How two or three images sent together show in a message. Four or more images always show as a carousel. |
