App 2.43.0: Overview styles Día de Muertos and Halloween

Browse Source 
Día de Muertos is an ofrenda: papel picado for the battery, a calavera
with the speed in a ring of marigolds for the power, candles for the
range, a path of petals for the last two minutes of power. Halloween is
a graveyard hill: a jack-o'-lantern with the speed in its grin, embers
for the power, a potion flask for the battery, a tombstone and bats for
the range. Each has its own palette; Tally counts what a value lights.

## Día de Muertos
After the ofrenda, the altar families in Mexico build to welcome their dead back for a visit: a
celebration, so bright and warm rather than frightening. The papel picado across the top is the
battery, one cut-paper flag per 10 %, those not lit hanging dark, turning red with "BATTERY LOW"
below 20 %. The calavera in the middle, a decorated sugar skull with marigolds (cempasúchil) for
eyes, has the speed on its forehead; the ring of marigolds round it is the power, clockwise while
drawing, turquoise and anticlockwise while regenerating. The altar's candles are the range, one
per 50 km. The path of marigold petals along the bottom, which in the tradition leads the visitors
home, is the last two minutes of power. On the right the clock in a tin frame, P R N D as small
marigolds, and trip, usage, climate and odometer on the altar cloth. While you drive the flags
sway and the flames flicker. The app turns the papel picado's pink with it.

## Halloween
A graveyard hill under a full moon. The jack-o'-lantern has the speed cut into its grin, and its
carving burns candle yellow while drawing and witch-fire green while regenerating; the arch of
embers over it is the power, from the left while drawing and from the right while regenerating.
The potion flask is the battery, red with "BATTERY LOW" blinking below 20 %. The tombstone reads
the range ("here lies … km"), and the bats are the range too, one per 50 km; P R N D are small
gravestones, the one engaged lit. The moon holds the clock, a sign hanging from a cobweb has trip,
usage, climate and odometer, and the hill along the bottom is the last two minutes of power. While
you drive the bats fly, the potion bubbles and the ghost floats (where there is room for it, as on
this screen). The app turns the pumpkin's orange with it.
