Bug fixes.

Here's the **What's New** text for v2.8. Honestly, this release is a **visual refresh**, not a feature drop — so the notes should center on the new look. ## App Store "What's New" (v2.8) **Short version (recommended):** > **A warmer, calmer Thalam.** > We've refreshed the entire light theme — replacing the old cool pastels with a warm, cream-and-sage palette that's easier on the eyes from morning planning to evening review. Light mode is now the default, dark mode is unchanged, and there's polish throughout. Same Thalam, more inviting. **Bulleted alternative:** > • New warm light theme , soft cream backgrounds with sage-green accents > • Light mode is now the default appearance (switch anytime in More → Preferences) > • Refined colors and contrast across Plan, Track, Stats and Home > • Visual polish and small fixes throughout ## What actually changed under the hood (for your reference, not for the store) 1. **Warm light-mode palette** : flat cream `#FAF6F1` surface, two-tier sage accent, warm coral secondary, warm-brown text, warmed success/warning/error tones (replacing the lavender→pink→mint gradient). 2. **Light is now the default** appearance (was System). 3. **Segmented-control track fix** :the Productivity/Health/Expense and Home/Categories/Health pickers now sit in a visible warm-grey tray (this session). 4. **In-app links repointed** to thalamplan.com (privacy / FAQ / terms). Items 3 and 4 are too minor to call out individually in the store notes , they're folded into "polish." Want me to **trim this to a specific length**, match the **tone of your previous release notes**, or add a localized version? And note: if you'd rather frame it bigger, I can only honestly describe what's in the build , there are no new features in v2.8 beyond the redesign.

HOME SCREEN & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Three new widgets: small and medium Home Screen widgets showing your active timer (or next upcoming block when idle), and a circular Lock Screen widget with a progress ring against your planned block duration.

Cards appear per category once you have five or more tracked planned sessions — finally, honest data about how long things actually take.

It finally reads like dark mode, not just an inverted theme. • Polish — pin and count badges on Track tiles now share the same grammar across Tasks and Categories modes.
