  • Light, dark or your device's setting: choose it in your account menu
    (your picture, top right). Each person chooses for themselves, and the
    whole admin follows: the editor, the Customizer, media, tables and the
    admin bar on your site.
  • Seven accent colours: Default, Matte, Rose, Amphibian, Strawberry, Kiwi
    and Pink LA, each a palette of four colours used for buttons, links and
    charts.
  • Status colours stay put: success is always green and warnings and
    errors always orange and red, whatever accent you pick. A rising figure on
    the dashboard is green, a falling one red.
  • A colour palette for everyone: ten named colours (red, orange, yellow,
    green, blue, pink, purple, brown, black, white) with ready-made classes,
    readable in light and dark, for the admin, apps and themes.
  • Tabs scroll with a mouse: when tabs don't fit, arrows appear at the
    ends. The tab bar is frosted glass, like a table's sticky header. A table
    under tabs no longer slides behind them when you scroll.
  • Error pages match your look: error and "access denied" pages follow
    your light or dark mode and accent colour.
  • Roomier dashboard on phones: even spacing around cards, and the At a
    glance figures get more room.
  • No more flicker while pages load: tables, the editor, the Customizer,
    media and settings pages appear finished, without a jump.
  • Easier to read: small grey text, badges and buttons that were too
    faint now meet the accessibility standard for contrast, in light and dark.
  • Security: the error log file many hosts create in your site's folder
    could be downloaded by anyone. It is now blocked; your site's settings
    file is updated for this the first time you open the admin after updating.
  • Apps can follow your choice: app developers get colours and a script
    API that change with light, dark and the accent.

After updating: nothing to do. No database changes. Everyone starts in light
mode with the Default colour until they choose. If you use Analytics, update
it to 1.13.0 after this release.
