-# Release Workflow
-
-This GitHub Action workflow automatically builds and releases FriendlyKobold for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
-
-## How to Create a Release
-
-### Method 1: Tag-based Release (Recommended)
-
-1. Create and push a new tag:
-
-   ```bash
-   git tag v1.0.0
-   git push origin v1.0.0
-   ```
-
-2. The workflow will automatically:
-   - Build the app for all platforms
-   - Run type checking and linting
-   - Create a GitHub release
-   - Upload the built files as release assets
-
-### Method 2: Manual Release
-
-1. Go to the "Actions" tab in your GitHub repository
-2. Select the "Release" workflow
-3. Click "Run workflow"
-4. Enter the tag version (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
-5. Click "Run workflow"
-
-## Generated Files
-
-The workflow creates the following files:
-
-- **macOS**: `FriendlyKobold-{version}.dmg`
-- **Windows**: `FriendlyKobold Setup {version}.exe`
-- **Linux**: `FriendlyKobold-{version}.AppImage`
-
-## Requirements
-
-- The repository must have a `GITHUB_TOKEN` (automatically provided by GitHub)
-- Node.js 22 and Yarn for building
-- All dependencies must be properly defined in `package.json`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If the build fails:
-
-1. Check that all dependencies are installed correctly
-2. Ensure the build script works locally: `yarn build`
-3. Check the workflow logs for specific error messages
-4. Verify that the version tag follows semantic versioning (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
-
-## Adding Icons
-
-To customize the app icon:
-
-1. Replace `assets/icon.png` with your custom 512x512 PNG icon
-2. Electron Builder automatically converts this single PNG to the appropriate format for each platform:
-   - macOS: Converts to `.icns` format
-   - Windows: Converts to `.ico` format
-   - Linux: Uses PNG directly
-
-The icon is already configured in `package.json` under the `build.icon` property.
-
-## Customizing the Release
-
-You can customize the release by editing `.github/workflows/release.yml`:
-
-- Change the supported platforms in the `matrix.os` array
-- Modify the release notes template
-- Add additional build steps or checks
-- Change the artifact upload logic

 - **Smart process management** - Prevents runaway background processes and system resource waste
 - **Optimized performance** - Automatically unpacks binaries for faster operation and reduced memory usage (up to ~4GB less RAM)
 - **Image generation support** - Built-in presets for Flux and Chroma image generation workflows
+- **Adaptive theming** - Light, dark, and system theme modes that automatically follow your OS preferences
 - **Privacy-focused** - Everything runs locally on your machine, no data sent to external servers
 
-### Windows ROCm Support
-
-There is ROCm Windows support maintained by YellowRoseCx in a separate fork.
-Unfortunately it does not properly support unpacking, which would greatly diminish its performance and provide a poor UX when used alongside this app.
-For Friendly Kobold to work with this fork, [this issue must be fixed first](https://github.com/YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm/issues/129).
-
-Note that this build is not important as modern day Vulkan matches or even surpasses ROCm in terms of LLM performance for most cases.
-
-### Future features
-
-Not all koboldcpp features have currently been ported over the UI. As a workaround one may use the "Additional arguments" on the "Advanced" tab of the launcher to provide additional command line arguments if you know them.
