# Winter 2023: dark mode, private pages and new payments

Winter 2023 opens the door to password-protected pages, a second online payment provider, a custom-code editor, and brings dark mode to the dashboard, along with many improvements on the store side.

## My account

### Dark mode

A **dark mode** appears to ease the eyes during extended dashboard use. Activate it from the home or the settings menu, it only affects the admin interface, not your site's appearance.

## Website

### Make a page private

You can now protect a page with a password to make it accessible only to those who have it. Each page has its own password, which can be changed at any time. The setting is available from the [**Pages**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/pages.md), under the **Make page private** option.

### Codes

A new [**Codes**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/codes.md) section lets you add your own CSS or JavaScript to your site. Snippets are managed independently, making it easier to add bespoke effects or third-party scripts.

### Clickable links on images and elements

The page editor now lets you add a link on an image or element without going through a button. The setting is activated from the element's advanced settings, under **Action on click**, or directly from the media editing options.

### Right-click disabling

You can protect all your pages by disabling right-click. This limits content scraping and image downloads. The option is found in the **Site behavior** section of the [**Themes**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/themes-brands.md) area.

### Domain setup

The guidance for setting up a [**Domain name**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/domains.md) has been reworked to walk you through the process more effectively.

## Store

### Vivawallet: new online payment provider

Alongside Stripe, Vivawallet joins the processors available from the [**Payment**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/payments-settings.md) page. You can now collect your orders via either provider, configurable from the dashboard.

::: info Pricing
Vivawallet fees are slightly higher than Stripe's.

### Product page improvements

- **Loading speed** of product pages improved.
- **New image display** on product pages, available from the [**Product theme**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/themes-products.md).
- **Image zoom** on product pages for visitors, to better appreciate photo details.
- **Hover image** on product cards, for a livelier catalog experience.
- **File size and weight limits removed** when uploading images: the platform now handles optimisation server-side.
- **Progressive image loading** for a better sense of speed on the visitor side.

### Search in facet filters

[**Filters**](https://docs.vivlab.com/en/sections/facets.md) management gains a search field, useful when the list of values starts to grow.
