What's New in Version [2.5.0] This update focuses on stability, theme consistency, and quality-of-life improvements. Dark Mode Consistency Fixes: Fixed the "Dark Mode Not Sticking" Bug: Your preferred Light or Dark Mode setting is now saved permanently and will be consistently applied every time. No more manual toggling! Resolved UI Reversion: We fixed an issue where the native app interface (e.g., status bar, navigation bars) would briefly flash or revert to the opposite theme (e.g., Light Mode). Theme Integrity on Dynamic Pages: We eliminated a bug where dynamic, JavaScript-heavy pages would incorrectly turn completely dark even when Light Mode was active. Web page colors and themes are now preserved as intended. Stability and Performance: Smoother Loading (No FOUC): We implemented a refined loading mechanism to eliminate the Flash of Unstyled Content (FOUC). Pages will load with your selected background color immediately, providing a smoother, flicker-free experience. Theme Override Fixes: We made targeted adjustments to prevent the app's dark mode from aggressively coloring UI elements (like buttons and borders) that were intended to keep their native theme appearance. This update should make using the app in both Light and Dark Modes much more reliable and visually consistent.
