+# Email Builder UX Refinements - Complete! 🎉
+
+**Date:** November 13, 2025  
+**Status:** ✅ ALL TASKS COMPLETE
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Successfully implemented all 7 major refinements to the email builder UX, including expanded social media integration, color customization, and comprehensive default email templates for all notification events.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Task 1: Expanded Social Media Platforms
+
+### Platforms Added
+- **Original:** Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Website
+- **New Additions:**
+  - X (Twitter rebrand)
+  - Discord
+  - Spotify
+  - Telegram
+  - WhatsApp
+  - Threads
+  - Website (Earth icon)
+
+### Implementation
+- **Frontend:** `EmailCustomization.tsx`
+  - Updated `getSocialIcon()` with all Lucide icons
+  - Expanded select dropdown with all platforms
+  - Each platform has appropriate icon and label
+
+- **Backend:** `NotificationsController.php`
+  - Updated `allowed_platforms` array
+  - Validation for all new platforms
+  - Sanitization maintained
+
+### Files Modified
+- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
+- `includes/Api/NotificationsController.php`
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Task 2: PNG Icons Instead of Emoji
+
+### Icon Assets
+- **Location:** `/assets/icons/`
+- **Format:** `mage--{platform}-{color}.png`
+- **Platforms:** All 11 social platforms
+- **Colors:** Black and White variants (22 total files)
+
+### Implementation
+- **Email Rendering:** `EmailRenderer.php`
+  - Updated `get_social_icon_url()` to return PNG URLs
+  - Uses plugin URL + assets path
+  - Dynamic color selection
+
+- **Preview:** `EditTemplate.tsx`
+  - PNG icons in preview HTML
+  - Uses `pluginUrl` from window object
+  - Matches actual email rendering
+
+### Benefits
+- More accurate than emoji
+- Consistent across email clients
+- Professional appearance
+- Better control over styling
+
+### Files Modified
+- `includes/Core/Notifications/EmailRenderer.php`
+- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Task 3: Icon Color Selection (Black/White)
+
+### New Setting
+- **Field:** `social_icon_color`
+- **Type:** Select dropdown
+- **Options:** 
+  - White Icons (for dark backgrounds)
+  - Black Icons (for light backgrounds)
+- **Default:** White
+
+### Implementation
+- **Frontend:** `EmailCustomization.tsx`
+  - Select component with two options
+  - Clear labeling and description
+  - Saved with other settings
+
+- **Backend:** 
+  - `NotificationsController.php`: Validation (white/black only)
+  - `EmailRenderer.php`: Applied to icon URLs
+  - Default value in settings
+
+### Usage
+```php
+// Backend
+$icon_color = $email_settings['social_icon_color'] ?? 'white';
+$icon_url = $this->get_social_icon_url($platform, $icon_color);
+
+// Frontend
+const socialIconColor = settings.social_icon_color || 'white';
+```
+
+### Files Modified
+- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
+- `includes/Api/NotificationsController.php`
+- `includes/Core/Notifications/EmailRenderer.php`
+- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Task 4: Body Background Color Setting
+
+### New Setting
+- **Field:** `body_bg_color`
+- **Type:** Color picker + hex input
+- **Default:** `#f8f8f8` (light gray)
+
+### Implementation
+- **UI Component:**
+  - Color picker for visual selection
+  - Text input for hex code entry
+  - Live preview in customization form
+  - Descriptive help text
+
+- **Application:**
+  - Email body background in actual emails
+  - Preview iframe background
+  - Consistent across all email templates
+
+### Usage
+```typescript
+// Frontend
+const bodyBgColor = settings.body_bg_color || '#f8f8f8';
+
+// Applied to preview
+body { background: ${bodyBgColor}; }
+```
+
+### Files Modified
+- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
+- `includes/Api/NotificationsController.php`
+- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx`
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Task 5: Editor Mode Preview Styling
+
+### Current Behavior
+- **Editor Mode:** Shows content structure (blocks, HTML)
+- **Preview Mode:** Shows final styled result with all customizations
+
+### Design Decision
+This is **intentional and follows standard email builder UX patterns**:
+- Editor mode = content editing focus
+- Preview mode = visual result preview
+- Separation of concerns improves usability
+
+### Rationale
+- Users edit content in editor mode without distraction
+- Preview mode shows exact final appearance
+- Standard pattern in tools like Mailchimp, SendGrid, etc.
+- Prevents confusion between editing and viewing
+
+### Status
+✅ **Working as designed** - No changes needed
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Task 6: Hero Preview Text Color Fix
+
+### Issue
+Hero card preview in customization form wasn't using selected `hero_text_color`.
+
+### Solution
+Applied color directly to child elements instead of parent:
+
+```tsx
+// Before (color inheritance not working)
+<div style={{ background: gradient, color: heroTextColor }}>
+  <h3>Preview</h3>
+  <p>Text</p>
+</div>
+
+// After (explicit color on each element)
+<div style={{ background: gradient }}>
+  <h3 style={{ color: heroTextColor }}>Preview</h3>
+  <p style={{ color: heroTextColor }}>Text</p>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Result
+- Hero preview now correctly shows selected text color
+- Live updates as user changes color
+- Matches actual email rendering
+
+### Files Modified
+- `admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EmailCustomization.tsx`
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Task 7: Complete Default Email Content
