2026.2 — February 2026

Due to recent API changes and rendering issues in the IDEs, we are forced to remove the old flat version of the themes (non-islands) and keep only the Island variant. This choice will help us keeping quality on the Island mode (which now becomes the only mode available), providing an optimal UX instead of finding compromises to keep both modes.

By removing the non-islands themes we also removed related settings (enable islands mode e show borders).

NEW

  • Add new file icons

  • Add a new action to instantly deactivate the plugin. This command frees up the current activation slot, expires the trial period and disables the plugin. 

  • Moved all the plugin actions into a custom Vira Theme menu.  This new menu allows you to change the accent colour, open customisations and activate or deactivate the plugin.
