It arches over the middle like the cover's: overlapping chunks of
mottled green paper, a yellow fringe, olive feet, and a red-orange head
with a yellow face and purple antennae. Still an original drawing.

A cut-paper collage after a picture book about a hungry caterpillar:
the caterpillar is the speed and power, the sun the battery, the story's
fruit the range. The music light bounces the sun and the segments. A
butterfly or a ladybird tows the song on tissue paper.

A tree with a bauble for the speed, fairy lights for the power, a mug of
cocoa for the battery, a wreath clock and candy canes for the range. Its
lights flare on the beat with the music light, now "Light follows the
music" for Halloween and Christmas. A sleigh or an angel tows the song.

A strip of papel picado with the song waves across the sky, towed by a
monarch butterfly and, on the next pass, an alebrije. One flag colour per
song. The banner moved into the shared SongBanner; Halloween is unchanged.

NowPlayingWatcher follows the head unit's media sessions (listening
only, never connecting to a player); NowPlaying picks what plays and
cleans the text. Tiles shows source, title, artist, cover and progress
under the battery; Halloween carves title and artist into the hill.
Settings: "Show what's playing", on by default. Nothing is logged or
sent.

MusicPulse reads 40-120 Hz and lights only on jumps of the bass, so
held notes and bass lines stay dark. Settings gets "Pumpkin light
follows the music" (Halloween only, off by default); off, the audio
analyser never starts.

The bass from Android's audio analyser drives the glow and brightens the
carving on the beat, only while the style is on screen. Yellow and green and
the embers keep their meaning; without a signal, as with the radio, the light
stays as it was. Levels only. Tried on the emulator. Not tried on the car.

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.

The map fills the whole screen, top-down and heading up, about 400 m
ahead and 450 m to each side, over a ground grid that turns with it.
The speed moves to a panel under the gears; the battery wall, the
clock, the gears and the disc stand on dark panels over the map.

The map gets its own camera, tilted 45 degrees down from about 300 m up,
so roads keep their shape some 400 m ahead instead of collapsing into
the horizon. In map mode the floor starts at half height, the speed is a
little smaller, the floor's grid is fixed to the ground and turns with
the roads, and the power disc has a dark backing.

The public Overpass answered 429/502 and needs ~40 s a tile while the
car gives up after 8 s, so the server cancelled its queries and the
car's retries added load. Now the server fetches only the tiles a car
asks for, as OpenStreetMap vector tiles from OpenFreeMap (MAP_TILES_URL),
decodes the transportation layer with a small reader of its own, and
keeps each tile 30 days on a volume (MAP_CACHE_DIR). A fetch finishes
even after the car has stopped waiting; the car hears 503 with
Retry-After and gets the tile on its next try.
App: OpenFreeMap/OpenMapTiles attribution on the map, retry after 15 s.

A new Overview style: the Grid over the roads round the car from
OpenStreetMap, drawn in the floor's perspective, heading up, the bigger
roads glowing brighter, the car as a chevron.
Server: POST /v1/map/roads {z:14,x,y} fetches a tile's drivable roads
from Overpass (OVERPASS_URL; one request at a time, at least a second
apart), simplifies them to tile-local points in four classes, caches
them for 30 days and never logs the tile.
App: MapRoads keeps the 3x3 tiles round the car from its own cache or
the server; GPS only while the style is shown; bearing from the GPS or
from successive positions. Without GPS, server or roads the plain floor
says why. OSM attribution on screen and in LICENSE.md.

Visor, after Halo's helmet display: the battery as the shield bar, the
range as the ammunition counter, P R N D as grenade slots, the speed in
the reticle with power round it, and the power trail as blips on a
motion tracker that sweeps while moving. Original blue or the accent.
Empire, after Age of Empires: a wooden resource bar, an isometric world
that moves with the speed, the car as the selected unit, P R N D as
commands, a diamond minimap, and ages by odometer (EmpireAge, tested).
The app takes the player's blue.

Time circuits, after Back to the Future: three LED rows (the car as the
destination, the present time, the last departure from P), the speed in
red digits and a flux capacitor that flows with the power; at 88 km/h
it all flashes. Letters on fourteen segments (Segments14, tested).
Quest, after World of Warcraft's interface: player frame, minimap, gold
speed, cast bar, quest tracker, chat, action bar and the odometer as
experience. Both in their own colours, the app with them. In THEMES.md
with screenshots. Emulator only; not tried on the car.

Neon lines on black over a perspective grid floor that moves with the
speed; the battery as a light wall, power on a disc whose inner ring
turns with it, and the last two minutes of power as a light-cycle trail
of right angles (the Cockpit's PowerTrace, now in ClusterValues). Cyan,
or the accent colour; in cyan the app turns cyan too. In THEMES.md with
two screenshots. Emulator only; not tried on the car.

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.
