Below is a closer look at the main changes and new features included in this release.

Deactivating the Redux Framework Plugin

After updating to the latest Docy version, you’ll see a notice in your dashboard asking you to deactivate the Redux Framework plugin. This is an important step, since the theme now uses a native Theme Settings integration and the two systems can conflict if both stay active.

Your existing theme configuration data will be preserved during the move to the new settings interface.

Dark Mode Controls in Elementor

You can now manage Dark Mode Color settings directly inside the Elementor editor. You’ll find these controls under Advanced Tab > Dark Mode Color.

This makes it much easier to fine-tune background, text, and border colors for dark mode without jumping between different settings screens. In my experience, that usually makes the whole design workflow feel a lot smoother.

Blog Post Format Icons

You can now assign or update icons for different blog post formats, such as standard or video, right from the theme settings. Just go to Theme Settings > Blog Pages and find the Post Format Icon option. Then choose the icon that best fits your content type.

Once you save your changes, the selected icons will appear automatically on your blog posts. It’s a small touch, but it helps readers spot content types faster and gives the blog a cleaner, more polished look.
