  • Fixed or Improved UI on WorkSpaces Buttons in Light Theme: This issue was reported by a GitHub user named plante-msft. He pointed out that when using a light theme, the white buttons are not distinct enough from the background color. This is noticeable in the Workspace editor, the “Capture” button in the create UX, and the “Cancel” button in the launch status dialog. Making these buttons more distinguishable should improve the clarity of the user experience.
