The new Twenty Twenty-Two theme
This is the first-ever default block theme for WordPress. It’s not just a new default theme, it’s a whole new way to use WordPress themes.
The block theme gives you a lot of visualization options, from color schemes to font combinations to page templates and image filters, all of which can be changed through the site editor. With only one place to make changes, you can give the Twenty Twenty-Two theme the same look and feel like your own brand or other sites, or take the look of your site in a different direction.
The Twenty Twenty-Two theme is already available, and this theme will be installed with WordPress 5.9, which can be found on the installed themes page.

Build sites with unlimited creativity
With the release of Twenty Twenty-Two theme, more block themes with site-wide editing support will be added to the theme directory and are waiting for users to explore them in-depth. Stay tuned for more block themes to be released in the future.
With any of the block themes, you no longer need the appearance customizer; instead, you get all the functionality in the site editor, in the styles screen. With these blocks, just like in Twenty-Two, you can build the right look and feel for your site on demand and use the tools you need to get the job done in a smooth, easy-to-use interface.
Navigation block
The core of this user experience introduces blocks to the site navigation bar.
The new navigation blocks offer a variety of options to choose from, such as responsive menus that always expand or menus that adapt to the user’s screen size. Whichever menu is created, it can be reused in the desired location, even after using a brand new template or switching themes.

The Power of Block Samples

With a full-screen view of the block template viewer, you can focus on the fine details and easily compare and select the desired block template from it.
Improved list view
The list view in version 5.9 lets you move blocks to the desired location by dragging and dropping block content. Managing complex files is made easier with simple controls that allow you to expand and collapse blocks as you build your site, and add HTML anchors to blocks that help users navigate the page.
A better use of the gallery block
Treat each image in the gallery block in the same way as you treat images in the image block.
In the gallery, each image is styled differently from the others (e.g. different cropping or two-tone) or made identical, or the layout can be changed by dragging and dropping.
