New

  • Settings now includes an App appearance selector with System, Light, and Dark options.
  • Light appearance covers menus, toolbars, panels, dialogs, controls, scrollbars, and supported window chrome.
  • System appearance follows the operating system's light or dark preference.
  • The drawing workspace background remains a separate setting, so you can pair either app appearance with a light or dark canvas.

Notes

  • Dark remains the default appearance until you choose another option and save Settings.
  • On Linux, the Beam Bench interface follows the selected appearance. Window decorations can still depend on the desktop environment and window manager.
