Home > News > Themes and style updates on the way

Early next week you might notice some minor display changes in lens themes and front door lens designs. The bulk of the updates will be noticeable in the headers and backgrounds of the lenses.

If you hear the words style and change and quake in terror, quake not.

This is cleanup work, simplification so that we can more speedily release new themes, new sidebar tests, new front doors, and best: so the lenses will load just a tiny bit faster. None of the layout specs are changing, your content isn’t moving, and none of your modules or custom code will be affected. There’s nothing you even need to do. (Except maybe try out that zippy new Valentine’s Day theme we released!)
