šIllustfolio Lumina February Update: Dark Mode is Here
Will You Join the Dark Side?

Hi, this is Showkaku Sano. I finally did a deep clean since I skipped my big year-end cleaning. I realized I donāt have nearly enough storage solutions, so Iām planning to buy some more. Thinking about these things is the most fun part, isnāt it?
Now, letās get into the February update! This monthās highlight is Dark Mode! To update your theme, please refer to the help guide, āUpdate the Theme.ā
Introducing Dark Mode š

Thank you for waiting!
Illustfolio Lumina now has Dark Mode! If youāve ever thought, āA black background suits my art style better than white,ā this update is for you.
To enable it, go to Options ā [Appearance] and switch from Light Mode to Dark Mode.
Dark Mode gives your portfolio a modern and sophisticated look. It also reduces eye strain compared to a white background. Whether you stick with Light Mode or switch to Dark Mode, choose the one that best matches your artwork!
Now, here are some key points to make the most of Dark Mode.
Point 1: Customize with Header Background Colors

Dark Mode (Appearance) and Header Background Color (Background Color) are separate settings.
Since Dark Mode is independent of the header background color, you can customize the design by combining them. Here are some examples:
Dark Mode + Darker Header ā Creates a unified, cohesive look.
Dark Mode + Brighter Header ā Use the [Invert Header Text Color] option to make this work!
Point 2: Only You Can Choose Dark or Light Mode
As the blog owner, you decide whether to enable Dark Mode. Viewers cannot switch modes.
For example, on Kindle or YouTube, users can freely toggle between Light Mode and Dark Mode. However, a portfolio site is about presenting your work in a way that aligns with your vision. Thatās why, in Illustfolio Lumina, Dark Mode is a setting only the owner can choose.
Other Updates
Fixed an issue where [Invert Header Text Color] did not apply to the header navigation.
Renamed the [Cover Size] option to [Cover Style] for clarity (no change in functionality).
Adjusted the appearance of the Like and Reblog buttons below posts.
For the full update history, please check the release notes.
Coming Next
Recently, Iāve received some feedback about Illustfolio Lumina. One of the common requests was for a blog feature, and Iām currently exploring the possibility of implementing it.
Iāve been blogging for over 15 years myself, so Iām really happy to hear this kind of request. However, since not all users need a blog, Iām considering offering it as an add-on or DLC rather than a core feature of Illustfolio Lumina.
Thereās no finalized plan or timeline yet, so if you have any specific requests for a blog feature, feel free to share your feedback!
Thatās it for this monthās newsletter! If you havenāt purchased the theme yet, you can get it here!
See you next time!
