Q: Will my theme settings be saved? A: Absolutely. Your theme choice, background selection, and customization options are saved with each conversation.
Q: Can I use my own images as backgrounds? A: Currently, you can only choose from the provided theme backgrounds or use your character's portrait image.
Q: Do themes affect how the AI responds? A: No, themes are purely visual. They don't change the AI's personality or responses.
Q: What's the difference between blur and opacity? A: Opacity makes the background more transparent (see-through), while blur makes it fuzzy/out-of-focus for better text readability.
Q: Why can't I access some themes? A: Themes marked with a lock icon require an active Plus or Premium subscription. You can preview them but need to upgrade to use them.
