Thanks a bunch.

BTW, the additions of colors is a big leap, thanks for all the efforts..

I wonder if "\latexcolor" names will be added in the later versions

Also, there is a small bug, I guess, with the new custom color 
definitions. I cannot retrieve the properties of a previously defined 
custom color. When I press the "Alter Color" button, the values are all 
null. I have to look at the LaTeX code to see what I entered in there.

One more thing I observed, dark and light mode settings did not work on 
my Windows 10 laptop, but it worked fine on Windows 11...

Thanks again to the developers. Really cool improvements with 2.5.0..
