New in Nightly: Change your browser’s theme color in Settings -> Appearance and it’ll change the accent colors everywhere else in the browser. 😍
A partir de hoy, en Nightly, los colores de acento de las preferencias, Leo, Wallet, Rewards, todo debería seguir el esquema de colores que seteaste en tus preferencias. Suena simple, pero es un cambio que viene siendo gestado desde hace más de un año, cuando empezamos a migrar la paleta de colores y temas a Material design. Esto nos permite, a partir de hoy, dar un paso más adelante en brindar más personalización a los usuarios. No puedo creer que después de tanto tiempo finalmente está funcionando 😭
