Your dashboard and overlays can share a look you can change in one place. The theme builder now has controls for shared colors, frames, typography, and the individual parts inside each widget.
Choose backgrounds, gradients, borders, shadows, spacing, and fonts. Fine-tune table dividers, class headings, driver badges, gauge markings, graph labels, and the mirror's delta panel. Click a part in the preview to edit it. You can also preview a widget from one of your own dashboards or overlays with its actual settings.
Changes save as you edit. Use Undo and Redo, compare with the version you opened, or reset an individual setting. Set a theme as your default, or choose a different theme for a dashboard, overlay scene, or widget. Add themes from Community and share your own.
A closer view of the track
Track maps now use a built-in catalog for iRacing's 428 current track configurations. Each map follows the exact configuration in your session. Turn numbers, corner names, sectors, and other layouts are available where the map has that data.
The new Follow car layout keeps your car, or the car followed by the camera, centered on the map. Set the zoom and choose driving direction up or a fixed track orientation. On the full map, choose your car's color and indicator, size the driver badges, and stack nearby cars.
Sector colors can show performance against your personal best, session best, or last lap. Car motion also has fixes for race and replay stutter, with closer spacing between stacked badges.
Edit a custom widget once
Custom widgets now save automatically. Edit a widget's source in the Library and every linked use receives the update, including dashboards and overlay scenes. You no longer need to remove and add it again.
Each use keeps its own size, position, and theme. Edit the contents, overall padding, background, and border in the source. The widget builder uses one canvas with sample-data scenarios. It replaces the separate Edit layout and Test widget tabs.

Fixes
- Tables Row dividers respect inner spacing on both sides.
- Widgets Driver badge text keeps the theme's colors on gradients and transparent fills, with automatic text contrast on solid fills.

- Overlays Mirror sector backgrounds sit behind the performance colors.
- Dashboards Open dashboards refresh after runtime updates, and session recovery keeps current race data available.
Improvements
- Themes Reset buttons restore inherited settings. Compact theme and custom indicators keep controls on one line.
- Library Saved thumbnails load from a local image cache.
- Widgets Data widgets now show readings without the old mini graphs, bars, or other visual readouts. Use Graph and Gauge widgets for those displays.
