This patch increases the quality of the visuals a bit and introduces the style preset. The default "plain" look now has shadows that cast and the camera background is not plain black anymore. Additionally, you will find "wooden" and "wooden outdoors" in the options under "Style Presets", which make the board and pieces wooden, and the outdoor version includes a fully functioning day/night cycle. These styles even apply in the editor, so you can enjoy the eye candy there while you put together challenging puzzles.
