Under the hood, we rebuilt our color system and carefully remapped every shade on the canvas, so your work stays vibrant, readable, and true to your design, day or night. Dark mode will now activate automatically if you have chosen it in your system settings. You can also switch modes manually in your preferences . ]]> Ask Whimsical 4c8b2e9f-bd74-40d8-99ac-a1074bf87610 2026-07-09T06:08:00.000Z 2026-07-09T09:31:44.967Z Whimsical Team Introducing Ask Whimsical, an AI agent for creating diagrams, wireframes, mind maps, searching your workspace, and iterating on your work.
