Mood colours are yours to pick. Settings, then Appearance, has a new row with three sets. Sunrise is the one Dayglean has always used and stays the default. Compass gives you five clearly separate colours that still run light to dark in mood order, so a calendar month reads at a glance. Confetti pushes them as far apart as colour allows. Pick a set and the whole app changes at once, with no restart: Today, the Timeline, the calendar, Pattern Drop, the widget, and any card you share. Calendar day numbers are readable again. The number drawn on a mood disc was using the paper colour and all but vanished on the lighter moods. It now uses the same dark mark the mood bubbles use. The Okay face is no longer a ghost. On Sunrise it was a white figure on a light grey circle, the faintest thing in the app. It is dark now, the same as Good and Great. Nothing else about the colours moved. Logging a mood from Spotlight or Shortcuts shows up. Choosing "Log mood" from search saved the moment, but the app never noticed it arrive, so your Timeline stayed empty and the next ordinary save wiped it out.
