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

# Overview styles
|
||||
|
||||
The Overview can look twelve ways: pick one under **Settings → Overview style**. Every style shows
|
||||
the same readings (battery, range, power, speed, gear, usage, trip, climate, odometer, time) and
|
||||
shows "—" for anything the car did not answer, never a made-up zero.
|
||||
|
||||
Each style has two screenshots: with the navigation, and in the Overview's own full screen (the
|
||||
button beside the MG4 logo; swipe in from the left edge to come back). They come from the test
|
||||
emulator at the car's resolution with **sample values** (87 km/h in D, 76 %, 18.4 kW), since the
|
||||
emulator has no car; on the car the values are live.
|
||||
|
||||
**Colours.** Most styles are drawn in the accent colour you pick from the MG4 paints (Settings →
|
||||
Accent colour; shown here in Dynamic Red). Retro and Terminal can also show their original
|
||||
colours, and Sci-fi, Cartoon and Nixie tubes always do; while one of those is shown, the whole app
|
||||
(navigation, buttons, switches) takes on its colours too.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Tiles
|
||||
|
||||
The app's original look, from the design it was forked from: glass cards on OLED black, one tile
|
||||
per value, with the averages over the last five minutes and since the start, vehicle info (with
|
||||
the lease allowance) and the tyre pressures on a little top view of the car. The most
|
||||
information on one screen.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Gauges
|
||||
|
||||
Three round instruments with needles, like a classic analogue dashboard: power on the left,
|
||||
speed in the middle, charge on the right (E to F), and a strip below with gear, climate, time,
|
||||
usage and a small battery. The needles glide to new values instead of jumping.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Cockpit
|
||||
|
||||
After the digital clusters of modern EVs: rings of lit segments for battery, power and usage.
|
||||
The power ring in the middle is centred on zero (regeneration lights up anticlockwise in green)
|
||||
and carries the speed and gear inside it; along the bottom, a strip with the power of the last
|
||||
two minutes.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Retro
|
||||
|
||||
An 80s digital dashboard: a vacuum fluorescent display behind smoked glass, as in the
|
||||
digital-instrument cars of that decade. Slanted seven-segment digits with the unlit segments
|
||||
faintly visible, bar graphs for charge and power, amber labels and a lit P R N D. In its original
|
||||
turquoise (shown) or in the accent colour.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Futuristic
|
||||
|
||||
A holographic head-up display in hairlines: the battery as a capsule on the left, the speed in a
|
||||
ring of dashes that turns with it on the right, and between them an energy channel in which
|
||||
particles flow from the battery to the wheels while driving, and back in green while
|
||||
regenerating, faster with more power.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Sci-fi
|
||||
|
||||
A starship console, after the look of the computer screens in 90s science-fiction TV: rounded
|
||||
"elbow" frames in orange and lilac, pill-shaped labels, condensed capitals and blocky bar graphs
|
||||
on black. Below 20 % charge the frames turn red: red alert. The app takes on the lilac of the
|
||||
lower frame.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Cartoon
|
||||
|
||||
Comic panels in flat colours with thick ink outlines on a night-blue page: a battery with a face
|
||||
(happy, unsure, then worried and sweating as it empties), a chunky speedometer whose needle
|
||||
wobbles into place, and the "zap-o-meter" for power with a sound word: PURR, VROOM, ZOOM! or
|
||||
RECHARGE! while regenerating.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## MG
|
||||
|
||||
After the classic MG dashboards, whose dials sat in octagonal bezels: three octagonal dials with
|
||||
chrome rims and cream scales (battery, speed, power), needles in the accent colour, and a line of
|
||||
odometer, trip, usage, climate and time separated by small octagons.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Minimal
|
||||
|
||||
One number and almost nothing else: the speed, very large and thin, the gear above it, power as a
|
||||
short line growing from the centre, and the battery as a hairline along the bottom edge. For calm
|
||||
driving.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Terminal
|
||||
|
||||
As if a shell printed the car's state: `watch -n 0.2 vehicle-status` on a green-phosphor screen
|
||||
with faint scan lines, each value on a row with an ASCII bar, the gear as `[D]`, and a prompt with
|
||||
a blinking cursor. A low battery turns its row amber. In green (shown) or in the accent colour.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Nixie tubes
|
||||
|
||||
The glow of nixie tubes, the neon number displays of 50s to 70s lab instruments: orange digits in
|
||||
glass tubes, the unlit numerals faintly behind the lit one, on a dark walnut panel with brass name
|
||||
plates. Speed, gear and battery on top; power, range, usage and the time below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Chronograph
|
||||
|
||||
A watch face, after a chronograph wristwatch: a deep-blue dial with a steel bezel carrying the
|
||||
speed scale, the long main hand for the speed, sub-dials for battery, power and usage, and the
|
||||
gear in a date window. Engraved columns either side carry range, trip, time, climate and
|
||||
odometer.
