Home Screen and Style Customization

• 💡 Home screen and style settings allow for general customization of your device's look and feel.
• 🎨 You can change icon packs if you have any installed, and adjust the home screen layout.
• 🗂️ Enabling drawer mode is recommended for a cleaner approach, storing all applications in a separate drawer.

Display and Brightness Settings

• 🌙 Dark mode can be enabled permanently or set on a schedule, including an automatic sunset-to-sunrise option.
• 📖 Ebook mode offers black and white or color options, with a yellow tint to mimic a paper look, making it suitable for reading.
• 🌈 Color settings include 'normal' and 'vivid' options to adjust saturation, and a color temperature slider for warm or cold adjustments.
• ✨ Natural Tone (similar to Apple's True Tone) adds a yellowish tint to match ambient lighting, gradually adjusting for comfort.

Screen Refresh Rate and Multitasking

• ⚡ The screen refresh rate offers 'dynamic', 'high', and 'standard' options. 'Dynamic' and 'high' are similar, balancing smoothness and battery life up to 144Hz, while 'standard' runs at 60Hz for better battery life.
• 📲 A hidden edge panel, similar to Samsung's, can be accessed by holding the back gesture arrow.
• 🚀 This edge panel allows for split-screen multitasking and saving app combos for quick launching of two applications simultaneously.
