Use the PPro8 Settings tool to manage your layouts, and to switch between Light Theme and Dark Theme.

Note: in the past, layouts used to be saved to the /PPro8Client/UserID/Environment folder. With the new client release, layout files will be saved to the /PPro8Client/UserID/Environment/LayoutName folder.

New: you can copy layouts from the previous PPro8 Lanu client to the new PPro8 Manti client. As soon as you log in to Manti for the first time, the client will automatically move all xml files located at /PPro8Client/UserID/Environment to a new folder at /PPro8Client/UserID/Environment/Lanu_Layout. However, this will only happen if you copy the Lanu xml files before you log in for the first time. Because if you log in first, a default layout will be downloaded from the server, and the client will not transfer the Lanu xmls automatically.
