Adds a "The Web UI" page under Basics with a screenshot walkthrough of the main interface: phone and PC mode layouts, top bar, and the Colors/Effects/Segments/Presets tabs, cross-linked to the existing feature pages. The Quick Start guide links to it as a next step, and each section of the Settings page gets a screenshot.

All screenshots taken on WLED 16.0.1 at consistent viewport sizes, stored in docs/assets/images/content/.

Fixes #3

Walkthrough

The PR adds a Web UI guide to the Basics navigation. It documents layouts, controls, colors, effects, segments, presets, device information, and configuration. It also updates settings documentation with screenshots and current option details.

Changes

Documentation updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Web UI guide and navigation
mkdocs.yml, docs/basics/web-ui.md
Adds the Web UI page to Basics. Documents responsive layouts, top-bar controls, colors, effects, segments, presets, the Info panel, and the Config menu.
Settings guide and screenshots
docs/features/settings.md
Adds screenshots for settings pages. Moves and resizes the LED settings screenshot. Adds Color & White, hardware, and general settings sections. Removes the obsolete Other settings section.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 739df

The PR adds a localized Web UI tour and settings screenshots, but two settings descriptions currently document defaults that do not match WLED 16.0.1 and describe White Balance correction as CCT control; this could mislead users configuring devices, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up correction.

I’m a rabbit with a guide in hand,
Hopping through tabs as screenshots expand.
Settings bloom in rows of light,
Web UI pages shine bright.

thanks, this is very useful. I only very briefly looked at it. the docs should represent the current state and exclude old things or list them as such. The example I stumbled on was in the led config page where things are listed that are no longer present.

All shots are now from one WLED 16.0.1 device with a WS281x strip instead of the HUB75 matrix. The LED settings image is cropped to the outputs block and shows two WS281x outputs. The brightness slider, Colors, Effects, Segments and Presets sections use short GIFs instead of stills.
- Say screenshots are from 16.0.1
- Describe the Sync button as toggling send, with receive set in Sync Interfaces
- Drop the claim that a fresh device has one segment
- Replace the stale "Other settings" table on the LED page with the 16.0.1 layout: Color & White, hardware pointers, General settings

The example I stumbled on was in the led config page where things are listed that are no longer present.

That was the "Other settings" table at the bottom of LED Preferences. Replaced it in 207ea0a with the 16.0.1 layout (Color & White, a pointer list for buttons/IR/relay, General settings), values checked against a 16.0.1 device.

The rest of settings.md has the same problem (the Sync and User Interface tables are mostly pre-0.14, the Time page still describes the old macro system). I'll do that as a separate PR so this one stays the Web UI tour.

gammaCorrectVal is 2.2 and transitionDelay 750 in wled.h (v16.0.1). correctWB adds a CCT slider to RGB outputs and tints toward it; it is not limited to CCT strips.
