App 2.35.2: a round full-screen button; THEMES.md with every Overview style

Browse Source 
The full-screen button's disc was an oval (an even inset in a 64 x 72 dp
area); the area is now a square 72 dp, pulled into the panel's padding
so the logo keeps its line. THEMES.md shows the twelve Overview styles,
each with and without the navigation (emulator, sample values), with
what inspired each; linked from README.md and AGENTS.md.

## Screenshots
**Overview styles:** the Overview comes in twelve looks, from an 80s fluorescent display to a
starship console and a watch face. [THEMES.md](THEMES.md) shows each one, with and without the
navigation, and what inspired it.

The small button next to the MG4 logo in the navigation hides the navigation for a full-width Overview; swipe in from the left edge (a faint handle marks it) to bring it back; with Settings → Full screen off, the car's own sidebar sits at that edge, so tap the small tab at the left edge (›) instead.
