A Clearer, Faster Design Editor

The Design page now opens with your look at a glance — a live theme card plus four focused views for Header, Wallpaper, Buttons and Fonts — with full keyboard support and two old bugs gone.

A bio page earns its tap in the first glance, and the Design page is where that glance gets made. It just got a rebuild — not more options, but a clearer way through the ones you already have.

Your whole look, on one screen

The Design page used to open on a row of five tabs. Now it opens on your design itself: a live theme card painted from your actual page — your real title, in your real font, on your real colors — with four rows beneath it for Header, Wallpaper, Buttons and Fonts. Each row shows its current setting at a glance, so you can see what your page is wearing before you change any of it.

One thing at a time

Tap a row and it opens as a focused view for just that one setting — no sibling tabs competing for attention, one back button to return. Views slide in the direction you're moving, cards lift gently under your cursor, and all of that motion switches itself off when your system asks for reduced motion.

"Background" is now "Wallpaper"

Same settings, clearer name. The section that holds your colors, gradients, photos and video scenes is now called Wallpaper — which is what it always was. Nothing moved and nothing broke: old links into the editor still land exactly where they used to.

The keyboard works everywhere

The rebuild carried a full accessibility pass through the editor:

  • Every picker — button shapes, wallpaper types, header layouts and the rest — is a proper radio group now, so arrow keys move through the options the way they should.
  • The color picker closes on Escape and hands focus back to where you were, and its hex field is a real, labeled input.
  • Every gradient preset and swatch has a name a screen reader can actually speak.

If you never touch the keyboard, you won't notice any of this — which is the point. If you do, the editor finally keeps up with you.

Two bugs you'll never meet again

First: on rare occasions the editor could open into a loading skeleton and stay there until a refresh. That's fixed at the root, and the editor no longer risks overwriting your saved design with defaults while it waits.

Second: switching sections could lag behind the address bar, which sometimes sent the little edit pencils in the phone preview to the wrong place. Also fixed — a pencil now always opens the exact pane it points at.

Take a look

  1. Open Design in your dashboard.
  2. The overview shows your current theme and all four sections at a glance.
  3. Tap any row, change what you came to change, and Save — the phone preview follows along live.
