------------------------------
Release detailsHigh contrast and Accent colors support
Podman Desktop now includes two new high contrast themes that provide
maximum contrast for better visual accessibility. The hc-light theme
features white backgrounds with dark borders and text, while hc-dark uses
black backgrounds with light elements. Both themes have been integrated
throughout the app and its UI components to ensure better visibility and
readability.

The app colors have also been updated to use accent colors instead of
hardcoded colors to make it easier to manage custom color palettes and
support consistent coloring throughout the UI.
Navigation history with back and forward controls
Following the introduction of the back and forward navigation controls in
1.25, Podman Desktop now also includes a navigation history dropdown when
long-pressing the navigation controls. Users can quickly browse their
navigation history using the dropdown, making it easier to navigate across
multiple sections.

JSON schema for Podman Desktop extensions is now available in the SchemaStore
website <https://www.schemastore.org/> or directly at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/main/schema….
This takes away the guesswork and provides autocomplete for available
properties while editing the file, streamlining extension development.
Add "$schema": "
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/main/schema…
" to your extension's package.json file to see all available fields and
values.
NOTE: If you are using VSCode, you might need to add
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/podman-desktop/podman-desktop/main/schema…
to
the JSON › Schema Download: Trusted Domains list for it to work.
