Several things about how they look have changed:\n\n- Hover style: the default is now \"tint\" instead of \"pointer\".\n\n- No-colour terminals: a new \"inverse\" style is used automatically when the colour level is 0, meaning no colours are available.\n\n- One hovered option: only one option in a list can show as hovered at a time.\n\n- Long text: option labels and descriptions are now cut off at the end (`wrap: \"truncate-end\"`) instead of spilling onto more lines.\n\n- Tick mark: the tick next to an option no longer shrinks when space is tight.\n\n**Why**\n\nMenus should look tidier, with long option text staying on one line and no confusion about which option is under the pointer. On a terminal without colour, the hovered option is still visible because it is shown in inverse.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
