✔ Themes (light, dark, sepia, slate, black)
✔ Fonts (sans, serif, change font size)
✔ Styles (column width, line height)
✔ Languages (menu to switch, fully translated interface)
✔ User accounts (all wikipedia account features accessible from menu)
✔ History (quickly jump to articles you've previously viewed)
✔ Search (powerful autocomplete with preview text & images)
✔ Trending (see today's most read articles)
✔ Contents (fixed to left side for easy navigation, can be hidden)
✔ Editing (full editing controls, history, watch etc)
✔ Switch back to the old design (if needed) with one click
✔ More improvements planned for upcoming releases!
