john-okeefe 7274b5196c docs(user): update appearance/profile instructions for sidebar UI
- Theme switching lives in the sidebar's Appearance panel (palette
  icon): swatch list with a checkmark on the active theme, and the
  'Bookshelf' section below it for wood textures; on small screens the
  sidebar opens via the top-bar menu button
- Profile: account menu is the username accordion at the bottom of the
  sidebar (not top-right); save button is 'Save Changes'
- Remove Wood Light/Dark/Mahogany from the Available Themes list (they
  are bookshelf backgrounds, not color themes) and consolidate the
  Catppuccin variants

# Themes and Wood Paneling
## Color Themes
Bookhoard includes multiple color themes to suit your preferences:
- **Tokyo Night** (default) - Dark blue/purple tones
- **Dracula** - Dark purple accent colors
- **Nord** - Arctic, bluish-gray colors
- **Solarized Dark** - Precision contrast for readability
- **Monokai** - Dark theme with vibrant accents
- **One Dark Pro** - Atom's favorite theme
- **Material Dark** - Material Design dark theme
- **Catppuccin Mocha** - Soothing pastel dark theme
- **Catppuccin Macchiato** - Warm mid-tone theme
- **Catppuccin Frappé** - Frothy cool tones
- **Catppuccin Latte** - Warm light theme
### Changing Your Theme
1. In the sidebar, open the **Appearance** panel (palette icon, near the bottom)
2. Pick a theme from the list — each option shows its color swatch, and your active theme is marked with a checkmark
3. Your choice is saved automatically and synced across devices
On small screens, open the sidebar with the menu button in the top bar first.
## Wood Paneling
Wood paneling adds texture to your dashboard bookshelf background, giving it a classic bookshelf feel.
### Available Wood Textures
- **None** (default) - Solid color background
- **Wood Light** - Light oak/birch texture
- **Wood Dark** - Dark walnut/mahogany texture
- **Wood Mahogany** - Reddish-brown mahogany texture
### Applying Wood Paneling
1. In the sidebar, open the **Appearance** panel (palette icon, near the bottom)
2. Scroll to the **Bookshelf** section below the theme list
3. Select your preferred wood texture (each option shows a texture swatch; **None** is the default)
4. Texture is applied to the dashboard bookshelf background
**Note:** Wood paneling is a browser preference and is not synced across devices.
### Tips
- Wood textures work best with darker color themes (Tokyo Night, Nord, etc.)
- Light wood pairs well with light themes (Catppuccin Latte)
- Wood paneling only affects the dashboard bookshelf area
