### 1.3 — 2026-09-12

Campaign Codex just got a new look and a few fixes to help you run smoother sessions:

• New candlelit "grimoire" theme — warm leather and parchment tones with elegant serif headings, replacing the old cold blue palette
• Your live session now follows you everywhere — a "LIVE" badge with a running timer stays visible no matter which screen you're on, and the timer itself now updates in real time
• Fixed a display issue where journal entries could show a stray white box behind headings in Dark Mode
• General stability improvements when quickly switching between campaigns and sections
