Dark Mode Support in Joomla! 5 Admin Panel

The Joomla! 5 administrator backend is improving and more thoughtful. You can easily switch to a mode that is gentle on your eyes depending on the lighting of your environment using the Light / Dark Mode switcher in your User Menu. We have implemented support for two Light and Dark Modes in the module control panel. Take a look at how cool the admin panel looks in Dark mode!

Stable work with keywords on the latest Joomla 5.2.x

Although keywords are still present when editing articles in Joomla 5, they are no longer present in the frontend meta tags as they no longer impact SEO. Therefore, using keywords is now reasonable only if they are used for administrative purposes and involved in the work of additional Joomla extensions.
