Signal Desktop adds disappearing call events, a refreshed dark theme, and sticker pack reordering.
Disappearing call events & design improvements
Disappearing call events: call events now respect the disappearing timer of a chat and disappear too. For missed calls, the timer starts when the call is read. For 1:1 calls, the timer starts when the call is answered or declined and for group calls, the timer will start when the call is over.
Design improvements: the dark theme now features a new dark/grey color scheme, slightly transparent context menus, and the menu bar now matches the active theme instead of remaining light in dark mode
Installed sticker packs can now be reordered
