Release Notes
02-03-2024
This release brings several improvements and enhancements, focusing mainly on optimizing performance and user experience. Here's a summary of the key changes:
-
suCSS Integration: The core CSS now leverages the lightweight suCSS framework made by yours truly, providing better maintainability, robustness, and scalability. With suCSS, the theme should maintain consistent appearance across different browsers.
-
Enhanced Theme Toggle: The dark and light theme toggle has been revamped for more consistency. Now, the website respects the user's system-wide theme settings, ensuring a seamless experience. Additionally, the toggle retains the selected theme for future visits, offering improved usability.
-
Smooth Transition and Sound Effect: Enjoy a smoother transition between the dark and light mode accompanied by a subtle sound effect. Rest assured, the added sound effect incurs minimal performance overhead, with the file size being just 1kb.
-
Class Names and Shortcodes Update: Some class names and shortcodes have been modified for better organization and clarity. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
-
Slight change in Color Choice: Some dark mode colors have been changed for the sake of readability, still using veqev.
