What's new​

• Theme picker in the user menu. Theme is a dropdown, with Mode (light, dark, or match system) right beside it.
• My Profile > Appearance. Set Theme, Mode, Text size, Density and Motion, with a live preview and a one-click Reset to OB HighVis.
• Per-user and saved server-side. Your choice follows you to every machine you sign in from. Nobody else's screen changes.
• Keyboard friendly. Cmd-K includes theme commands, and the header Text size button stays in sync.

Ant Design, light and dark​

Ant light re-skins the core workspace: Console, Queue, tickets, Clients, CRM, Projects, Quotes, Contracts, Billing, Approvals, Catalog, Invoices and Settings. Ant dark is clean, with no leftover OrangeBoard orange.

Why it matters​

• Comfort and familiarity. Teams that live in Ant-based tools get a look they already know.
• Accessibility stays first. Contrast checks pass under both themes in every mode and text size, and the large-text toggle works on top of every theme.
• No surprises. OB HighVis stays everyone's default, and switching back is pixel-identical to the original look.
• Your brand is protected. Customer-facing emails, PDFs and quotes keep Standard Computer orange no matter which theme a user picks.

What's next​

Material 3 is next, followed by Carbon, Primer and Fluent 2, one at a time.

Here is what changed from the beta and what you should do first after upgrading:

• Projects, time, billing, CRM, resource planning, and financial reporting now run on a single integrated data model — no more syncing between modules.
• Every billable activity (time entries, expenses, milestones, retainer draws) flows into one billing record per client.
• Industry profiles ship preset billing types and report templates for helpdesk teams, MSPs, IT consulting firms, and marketing firms.

After upgrading: review your billing model settings per engagement, re-run your utilization report baselines, and check the new approval workflow defaults for time entries.

A walkthrough of what changed and why we made each decision:

• Billing runs now pull all approved time and expenses for a period automatically — no manual line-item selection.
• Review screen shows every line item with inline discount and write-off controls before anything is finalized.
• One-step generation produces PDF invoices for every client in the run at once.

Screenshots and the full before/after comparison will be published alongside the next release.

What worked, what needed tweaking, and the approach they used:

• Module schema files taught the agent what fields exist on billing records, their types, and allowed values.
• Workflow process maps gave the agent the step-by-step monthly billing procedure: lock the period, review WIP, generate invoices, send to clients, record payments.
• The API reference for AI agents provided example requests and response shapes for each step.
