Lyrics Card Generator v4.2.3 Release Notes
Release date: 2026-07-03
v4.2.3 rebuilds the app-interface appearance system. Settings that were previously spread across Appearance, Background, accent color, and text color are now consolidated into one clear appearance-mode model. This release does not change exported lyric-card styling, add background-image workflows, or expand user-selected theme colors.
Main Updates
- The separate Background settings page is removed from the settings dialog; the tabs are now General / Appearance / Export / AI / About.
- The Appearance page now exposes only Appearance mode and UI font family.
- Appearance mode is limited to five choices: Album dynamic, Dark mode, Light mode, Dark Acrylic, and Light Acrylic.
- Album dynamic remains the default mode and continues to use the cover palette for the app mood and accent color.
- Dark mode now uses a stable near-black background, and Light mode uses a stable white background instead of the old blue-white or black-pink presets.
- Dark Acrylic and Light Acrylic continue to use Electron's Windows Acrylic window-material path.
Compatibility and Migration
- Existing
light-bluesettings migrate tolight. - Existing

Scope
- Lyric-card preview and exported PNG styling are unchanged.
- No background-image features are added.
