Valence 1.2.2 - Ink in your theme's colors, and a cleaner Settings

Yesterday’s ink got a wardrobe, and Settings learned to stay out of your way.

Valence theme-matched ink effects - the hyperspace effect drawn in warm sepia ink on the Bone & Ink light theme

What’s new

Every light theme gets its own ink. Loading effects now draw in colors matched to your theme, indigo on Porcelain, warm sepia on Bone & Ink, ocean blues on Tide, sunrise coral on Dawn. The live preview in Settings shows exactly what you’ll get, and switching themes swaps the ink instantly.
Settings, reorganized. Long pages split into quick views you pick with chips, Theme (Style / Motion / Text & Input / Window), Local Model, and About, with everything inside already open. No more clicking section after section to find things. On smaller windows the navigation collapses into one compact header instead of pushing content off screen.
Growing Tree, tamed. The blossom canopy reads as blossoms over branches instead of one glowing mass, on every theme.

Fixes

Appearance controls (compact mode, opacity, always-on-top) no longer stop responding after revisiting the Theme tab.
