@ovilia are there docs for the dynamic theme switching?
@archie_wood Sure. Here's the doc for it: https://echarts.apache.org/en/api.html#echartsInstance.setTheme
Echarts is awesome. I started using it about 9 years ago and it's been fantastic. I've tried many chart libraries, including d3.js, chart.js, etc., but overall, echarts is the smoothest to use. I'm glad to see echarts constantly updating and iterating, and I wish it gets better and better.
ECharts 6.0 is absolutely gorgeous. Which new chart type are you most looking forward to?
Are there any performance boosts we should know about?
The redesign is sleek and powerful. Will it be easy for existing projects to upgrade?
As a long time user of ECharts, it's amazing to see the continued innovation and excellence!!!

Whoa, Apache ECharts 6.0 looks awesom! That new matrix coordinate system is kinda genius imo – laying out charts like blocks is such a smart way to handle complex dashboards, right? I'm always struggling to fit everything in nicely, so this is a huge plus. Truely excited to try it out! How customizable is it for creating really unique visualizations?
