Yes, it should be saving your settings.

Some boards have an option to select alternate themes. Is there such a feature here and I just don't see it? I have a browser plugin that attempts to convert sites to a "dark"er color set, but it makes several aspects on here unreadable. :(

No, but the developer of Lightburn, Jason, has themes on his to-do list.

I meant for your forum. A dark theme in Lightburn would be difficult. Most of the display needs the white background for proper contrast.

Ah, no... this is a custom board, going to dark mode would conflict with the CSS.

All of your downloads look to be for Lightburn specifically. I know some of the guys are using EZCad among others. Are your artwork designs usable in any other programs such as Illustrator, or Inskscape, etc?

Yes, they're developed/created for Lightburn specifically. If you want to use them in other programs, you can export them from Lightburn in either svg or ai formats.
