Custom Notes

You can now add a note to your fonts. You can use it to store ideas, font usage, order details, etc. Initially the Note panel is not shown, so go to the main menu and select View -> Panels -> Note.

Dark Theme

You can now switch to Dark Theme, which some people prefer as it reduces power usage and improves visibility in a low-light environment.
