🦅 What's New in v2.00 — Reader Defaults, EaglePressTheme & More

Reader Defaults

Three new Dashboard settings let you control the out-of-the-box experience for every visitor:

SettingDescription

Default Page Theme Light or dark — applied on first visit before any localStorage preference is saved<br>Default Code Block Theme Which syntax-highlighting theme new code blocks start with<br>Default Code Block Mode Light or dark mode for every new code block

All five bundled themes (firstTheme, secondTheme, americanTheme, USAtheme, NewsTheme) and the admin panel now read this setting in their anti-FOUC inline script instead of hardcoding 'light'.

EaglePressTheme — Official Showcase Theme

A brand-new installable theme designed for eaglepress.org, now included in the bundle:

Deep navy + gold colour scheme — Playfair Display headings, Inter body

Home page with full-bleed hero post , card grid, and sidebar

/themes gallery — preview images, version badges, Download + Preview buttons for every theme in the repository

/plugins directory — Download + Source (GitHub) buttons for every plugin

Notice banner on non-eaglepress.org installs explaining the theme's distribution purpose

Dark mode, full syntax highlighting, responsive layout

Available in the Themes marketplace as 2_EaglePressTheme

New Core Routes

RouteBehaviour

Theme gallery (eaglepress.org) or redirect card to eaglepress.org/themes<br>Plugin directory (eaglepress.org) or redirect card to eaglepress.org/plugins<br>Live preview of any installed theme using the first published post

Global Lists System

A new Update Global Lists button in the Distribution Manager scans all theme and plugin zips in the repository, reads their manifests, and writes global_theme_list.jsonpyjscsshtmlphpshccpprsluaplsqlmdtxt + global_plugin_list.jsonpyjscsshtmlphpshccpprsluaplsqlmdtxt — the JSON files that power the /themes and /plugins showcase pages.

💡 Existing installations get all v2.00 improvements automatically via the One-Click Updater.

Every code block now has an independent light/dark mode toggle button — the 💡 / 🔅 emoji button placed between the word-wrap checkbox and the theme dropdown.

StateButtonBorder

Light mode💡 lightbulbYellow<br>Dark mode🔅 low-brightnessGreen

Key features:

Each code block is completely independent — toggling one block does not affect any other

Default is always light mode on first visit

Mode is persisted per block in localStoragepyjscsshtmlphpshccpprsluaplsqlmdtxt (keyed by page path + block index), just like word-wrap and theme preferences

All 10 themes now have both a light and a dark variant:
