Settings › Appearance › Background Image picks an image shown through the project window, with opacity (default 15%), fill (scale, original size, tile) and anchor. Drawn over the workbench under dialogs and popups without taking clicks; the settings row previews the image and shows why a path cannot be loaded.
OPENIDEA_CONFIG_DIR, OPENIDEA_DATA_DIR and OPENIDEA_LOG_DIR take an absolute path, like OPENIDEA_LOCAL_DATA_DIR, and the IDE uses <path>/<identifier> under it. Every place that resolved these directories now goes through ide_host::data_dirs (app state, invalidate caches, window zoom and window state, the MCP stdio bridge, logging, the openidea-plugin CLI), and the frontend takes the user data directory from app_info instead of Tauri's appDataDir. A relative path for the configuration or user data shows an error and exits.
Closes#2814
Once an agent reports its modes, new tasks start in the mode that approves everything (Claude Code's bypassPermissions, Codex's full-access, which also turns off the sandbox), where the Command Execution Policy never applies. Settings › Agents › Chat › New tasks start (agents.newTaskApprovals: bypass or ask) chooses; the default keeps today's behaviour. With ask, new tasks start in a mode that asks: the agent's reported mode when it isn't a bypass mode, otherwise its default/ask mode, with allow-all permissions off and Cursor approvals set to ask. The setting is user-only (in the settings layer's USER_ONLY list): project files can't set it.

A project's .openidea/settings.toml could loosen what coding agents do without asking: auto-approve commands, empty the blocked list, pick the mode new tasks start in, and add MCP servers every agent session starts. Project settings can no longer set agentSecurity.allowedCommands or agents.defaults (user settings only, like mcpServer), and a project's agentSecurity.blockedCommands adds to the user's list instead of replacing it. Workspace MCP servers start only once the user has turned that exact definition on in Settings › Agents › External MCP Servers; servers saved there count as turned on, servers imported or changed in the file stay off until turned on. The Command Execution Policy page drops its Global / This project switch.

Switching a theme with several windows open flickered for seconds: the plugin theme is shared by every window, and each window put back the theme its own settings named whenever it changed, before those settings caught up. Windows now act on the plugin theme only when their own selection changes, and applying the theme already shown keeps its stylesheet instead of replacing it.
Theme previews in the gear menu, Quick Switch and Settings waited 500 ms, and on themes written with hsl() or color-mix() the terminal took up to a second to read its colours: each token was resolved through a new element inserted under the root, restyling the whole page every time. Previews now show at once, and token colours resolve through one element kept for it.
The built-in One Light and One Dark themes are removed in favour of the One Dark Pro plugin; settings naming them read as Islands Light and Islands Dark.
- Commit panel: the action row wraps at narrow widths, so "Commit and Push…"
moves to its own line instead of being cut to "Commit ..."; its tooltip
names the action as well as the shortcut.
- Console Colors preview: four short lines, so the bright colors no longer
run past the preview's right edge.
- Language server and debugger install hints are plain text: drop the
Markdown backticks that showed up literally.
- Appearance: "Accent color", matching the rest of the UI.
Settings no longer lists a Project Structure page; File › Project Structure…
(⌘; / Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) opens the standalone dialog, which already had the
same sections. Arrow keys in the dialog's sidebar follow its navigation order.
- Rename the two MCP pages under Agents to IDE MCP Server (OpenIDEA's own
server for outside clients) and External MCP Servers (servers coding
agents use), and point the docs at Settings › Agents.
- Lay the Add/Configure MCP Server dialog out as a label column with
padded, framed fields; the page's styles now use existing tokens, so
text areas get a frame and text the right size and colour.
- Import is now Import from Project and reports how many servers it
added from .mcp.json and .vscode/mcp.json, or that it found none.
Languages & Frameworks had a standalone Plugin Formatters page that, with no
plugin providing a formatter, only showed a Format on save toggle duplicating
Tools > Actions on Save and Editor > General. The per-language plugin
formatter choice now lives in Editor > Code Style > Formatter, appears only
when an enabled plugin provides a formatter, and follows the Code Style
scheme (Copy to Project / Copy to IDE include it). Docs and the plugin README
point to the new location.
