The board now behaves well without configuration, so the layout knobs are gone: it centers itself vertically in the viewport (replacing "Dock to bottom"), the responsive grid is the only layout (replacing "Columns"), and dragging is always available (replacing "Drag to rearrange"). Old stored settings normalize cleanly; only the greeting name remains. The visual identity is rebuilt for a premium, restrained feel: the greeting (with the date beneath) replaces the brand title as the hero, neutrals get a touch of warmth, and depth comes from neutral shadows and hairline separators rather than gradients, glows, or bouncy motion. Context menus gain leading icons, group separators, and a translucent layered panel; the Options dialog is sectioned with label/control/hint rhythm, and links to the GitHub project. A shared WidgetIcon names each kind consistently across the add menu, card corner badges, and dialog headers. Details: menu reordering is now "Move back" / "Move next" (the grid flows in reading order, so "up/down" was inaccurate), new widgets preselect a random colorful preset, the delete dialog suggests archiving instead, clicking a menu separator no longer dismisses the menu, and an invalid `ease out` animation shorthand is fixed.

Summary
A full redesign of Dayboard's surfaces with one guiding idea: the app should just work, with as few knobs as possible — and look premium doing it.
