Major Update: New Settings, Templates, Light Theme and Many Improvements

Hello everyone,

We have been working hard behind the scenes, and today a large update goes live. Below you will find everything that is new, where to find it and what has been fixed. Take a few minutes to look around, because there is a lot to discover.

1. Brand new Settings page
The old settings page has been replaced by a completely redesigned one. It is faster, clearer and works great on desktop, mobile and in the app. Everything is grouped into clear sections:

• Overview: your account at a glance, with an account health score and quick settings.
• Profile: Profile styling, Style & appearance, Template and Privacy.
• Account: account details, password, two factor security and linked social accounts.
• Game: Display & language and Backfire.
• Notifications: Push, Messages, Email and Discord DM.
• Other: recent purchases and account removal.

On mobile you now get a compact two row menu at the top, so you only see the page you are working on and never have to scroll through a long menu.

2. Template: make BELLOCCO look the way you like
A completely new section called Template lets you decide how the game looks and feels. You can find it under Settings, Profile, Template.

• Layout: choose between New (district hubs, a page banner and the quick search) and Classic. Classic brings back the familiar menus in the sidebars without districts. On the left you find Finance, The City, Casino, My Empire, Community and the shop links. On the right you find Crime, Underworld, Vehicles and your Family. Every feature is listed in the right menu, and new features will appear there automatically.
• Theme: choose Dark or the brand new Light theme.
• Bottom bar: switch the quick bar at the bottom of the screen on or off. On mobile this is the tab bar, on desktop it is the floating dock. Switching it off gives you more room, and you can still reach everything through the sidebars and the search button.
• Appearance: High contrast and Larger text now live here too, so everything about the look of the game is in one place.

3. The new Light theme
The Light theme is a lighter version of the BELLOCCO style, made for playing during the day or outdoors. We rebuilt it from scratch and the old light theme is gone. The top bar, page banners, sidebars, popups, tables, the season page, the character screen and many other pages have been designed for it. You can switch back to Dark at any time. If you notice a page that does not look right in Light, please let us know in the Bugs & errors board and we will fix it quickly.

4. Style & appearance
Stand out in chat, rankings and on your profile. Under Settings, Profile, Style & appearance you can now:

• Pick your name glow, profile frame and title from a clean selection window, with a live preview of your own name and every effect.
• Equip a complete Set in one go. Sets come from the bundles you own, so you only see bundles you have fully unlocked.
• See a preview of how other players see your profile, with a direct link to your profile.

5. Family style is now managed by the boss
The family banner and emblem ring are shared by the whole family, so they are now managed in one place. Family bosses can find them in Family management under the new Style tab. Every member automatically shows the family style next to their name, on the family profile and in lists.

6. More notifications that really work
We added many new notification types, all translated and fully working. Under Settings, Notifications you can choose per type what you want to receive by push, in your inbox, by email and by Discord private message. New push notifications include:

• Drug lab: when your plants need care or the harvest is ready.
• Training: when your training session is done.
• Races: the results of your street races and wagers.
• Friends: friend requests and accepted requests.
• World Boss: when the World Boss appears.
• Smuggling: when your run is delivered or you get busted.
• Organised crime: the result of your heists.
• Invitations: when a player you invited becomes active or reaches a milestone.

Discord private messages were extended with the same kind of events, so you never miss an important moment.

7. More improvements

• Profile and Character Setup: your equipment slots now look exactly the same on your profile and on the Character Setup page.
• Item images: items in the marketplace, the season reward track and reward popups are now shown completely instead of being cropped.
• Backfire: the weapon note now links straight to your inventory, so you can quickly choose another weapon.
• Page banners and tabs: cleaner banners and a tidier tab bar with clear separators.
• Red Light District: redesigned with the same card style as the rest of the game.
• Season names: season names are now translated everywhere, including the right sidebar.
• NEW labels: the NEW badges were removed from the menus and pages for a calmer look.

8. Fixes and performance

• Fixed the Detective page error that could show a broken layout.
• Fixed several small errors and slow loading pages across the game, so pages respond faster.
• Fixed text that was hard to read in some places and cleaned up many small display issues.
• Improved the translations of settings and notifications in English and Dutch.
