Adds a single Theme selector (Settings -> Visuals) to the C3X and comma
four UIs, driven by one BPThemePack param and one shared entry list, so
theming behaves identically on both devices. The selector carries Off,
the existing 8-Bit Racer theme (its separate toggle is absorbed), and
ten bundled seasonal packs covering New Year's through Christmas.
A pack is a directory of plain assets - no code:
colors/colors.json Path, PathEdge, LaneLines, LeadMarker,
RoadEdges, Accent, Background (all optional)
sounds/<name>.wav alert-sound overrides by filename
steering_wheel/wheel.png wheel icon override
Themed views render as full scenes: Background paints a sky gradient
whenever Minimal Driving View hides the camera, the path ribbon runs a
full-strength gradient, lane lines and road edges use the wider
minimal-view geometry with a stronger glow halo, the torque-bar fill
and set-speed value take the Accent color, and the vision-lead chevron
and info box follow LeadMarker.
The C3X page selects via a scrollable option dialog and the MICI page
via a cycling toggle - both built from the same entries, so any number
of packs stays inside the widget. Users can drop additional packs into
/data/bp_themes over SSH; malformed pieces degrade gracefully to stock
(bad wavs fall back to stock sounds, missing colors keep stock colors).
Bundled palettes are original; wheel icons are from OpenMoji

…ecture Builds on the theme selector: a SceneBase interface (background pass before the model render, foreground pass under alerts, replaces_road/replaces_hud capability flags) unifies every theme kind. Rad Racer participates through a capability adapter — its drawing is untouched, the ad-hoc dispatch checks are gone. Seasonal packs get data-driven scenes from a per-pack scene.json: particle layers (falling snow, rising hearts, tumbling leaves, fluttering bats, firework bursts), static decor (string lights, garlands, bunting, corner pieces) and a sky treatment — full strength in Minimal Driving View, subtle over the live camera, alerts always on top. Sprites are procedurally rendered signed-distance fields (no bundled images), tinted per particle at draw time. Budgets are hard-capped and validated; a pack without scene.json is colors-only, exactly as before. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BPThemeAutoSeasonal (default off): during a holiday window the matching pack takes over automatically; outside windows the manual Theme selection applies unchanged. Every pack is treated equally — the window lives in the pack itself (<pack>/season.json, fixed MM-DD or anchored to easter/us_thanksgiving), so user-dropped packs participate and shadow bundled ones by name. Overlaps go to the shortest window (April Fools inside Easter week). Toggle on both settings pages; sunnylink gains the toggle plus the full Theme selector, replacing the stale BPRadRacerTheme entry.

Every pack's horizon now belongs to its holiday: heart-summit mountains (valentines), giant egg hills (easter), shamrock mounds (st patricks), farmland with barns and silos (thanksgiving), capitol dome + monument with lit windows (july 4), saguaros among the mesas (cinco), lit-window skyline (new years). The rainbow's legs dissolve into horizon mist instead of hard-clipping. New Year's gains a looping Times-Square ball drop (glowing faceted orb on a pole) and punchier fireworks, as does July 4. New pack: veterans_day (Nov 8-12) — flag-line memorial hillside backdrop, drifting remembrance poppies and gold stars, poppy wheel icon, navy/poppy-red palette. Selector picks it up automatically; sunnylink option added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

BPThemePackselector drives all theming on both devices: the 8-Bit Racer code theme or one of 11 bundled seasonal packs, each a plain asset directory (colors, sounds, wheel icon, scene) — user packs drop into/data/bp_themes.What each pack gets
BPThemeAutoSeasonal, default off): each pack declares its window inseason.json(fixed dates or anchored to Easter / US Thanksgiving); shortest window wins overlaps; user packs participate equally. Outside windows the manual selection applies.All art is procedural (numpy SDF -> texture at load, no bundled scene images). Sunnylink gets the full Theme selector + the seasonal toggle, replacing the stale
BPRadRacerThemeentry. 34 unit tests cover parsing, clamps, budgets, a 10k-frame allocation check, seasonal date math, and the hero-placement contract.comma 4 (MICI) — same scenes, hero above the torque bar
