My preferences are "more responsive" for scrolling, the scrolling bullet first, "improved" for dark-mode support, the Racket CS bullet third so that the DrRacket items stay together, and "The Web Server" instead of "The PLT Web Server". I would also highlight that the web server change is technical

Thanks Robby, Is that the reason why I still don't get full "dark mode" that was discussed in the thread ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/racket-users/3GgHnr6IurQ) even in the latest 7.6.0.6--2020-01-27(c48afdb/a) snapshot build? --JC On Monday, January 27, 2020 at 9:37:26 AM UTC-6, R
