Release 1.47.0

A project's background became a place

Every project in Canvas Code has a look: you glance at the screen and know where you are, without reading the name. Until now that look was color, a gradient with a few soft halos behind the glass of the panels.

Now every theme brings scenery: a short, silent scene looping behind your work. A cabin by a lake under a sky full of stars, a temple lit by red lanterns, a turquoise glacier under the aurora. It's the new default, including in projects you already had.

And it's yours to choose, theme by theme: animated, still (three scenes per theme) or none, which brings back the familiar gradient, for anyone who prefers that only the work has color.

You see it before you decide

Choosing a background from a thumbnail is choosing blind. What settles it is how the scenery looks behind your panels, on your screen.

So the canvas changes as you browse. Click a theme and the whole screen follows, immediately. Change your mind, hit cancel, and everything goes back exactly as it was: only Save commits.

Ivory, the first light theme

Cream and champagne, with the entire interface turned to the light side: text, fields, menus, sheets.

A light theme isn't one more palette, it's the app learning to live on the other side. The panel where your agent writes stays dark, and that's deliberate: terminal programs choose their colors assuming a black background, and on paper half of that output would simply cease to exist. Light frame, night console, like the editors you already use.

Three new themes

• Ruby, deep wine and crimson, dramatic and warm.
• Aurora, cyan and mint, luminous and cool.
• Terracotta, clay and burnt coral, organic and welcoming.

Each with scenery of its own, like all the others.

Your own wallpaper is still there

If you'd rather use your own image, nothing was lost. The Customize wallpaper card keeps it all: pick a file (image, GIF or video), or describe what you want and let the canvas search the web for it, or paint it from scratch.
