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. [image: High contrast dark theme] [image: High contrast light theme] 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. [image: Navigation history dropdown]Extension development JSON schema 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/sche....
