User Interface and template

The update's most significant visual change was the new UI. Before the update, the background color of the UI was grey and the color palette was located on the left side of the screen. New features included unique user profiles, a social board with the ability to add users as friends or block users, and a main menu with different tabs (News, Paintings (with sub-tabs: Browse, Settings/Tools,Top Users, Create new Painting), Guilds, Shop, Account, Terms) for easy navigation.
