The theme pack now includes both Dark and Light variants, allowing developers to switch between focused dark environments and clean light interfaces while maintaining a consistent visual identity.

AmberStudio also introduces the IkarOS theme, inspired by the IkarOS OS project, bringing a unique aesthetic designed to integrate with the broader IkarOS ecosystem.
