 ## Look and feel
 
+- [x] Home screen (part of #4684, shared UI with PhotoCraft): the welcome, New / Open buttons and Community block are centred, and the large Discord button takes the theme's accent instead of Discord's colour; the layout and wording of the preset cards and Recent Files are unchanged. Still open from #4684: shortcut hints on the buttons, PhotoCraft's PRO and STUDIO themes, the Preferences layout (search box, theme swatches, Apply) and the title bar.
