=== | === Dark theme === | ||
The [[theme|theme editor]] in Woodford was updated. The traditional way of fine-tuning the colors of various UI elements remains available. However, there's now a simpler option.

=== | === One-click setup of custom color themes === | ||
This release, we're introducing a new way to colorize the app. In the [[theme]] editor, select the main brand color.
