"Version X is available" in the top bar is now a button that opens an
Update popup:
- Update and restart gets the download link from the server (the redirect
is not followed, as the Gitea link needs no token), downloads the new game
next to the running one with a progress bar, checks it (complete, and an
MZ or ELF file), swaps it in and restarts. The quiz is saved first and
continues. On Windows the running .exe is renamed to .old, put back if
the swap fails, and deleted at the next start.
- Download in browser opens the .exe, the Linux package, or the release
page on other platforms.
- From the editor, an unwritable folder or another platform, only the
browser download is offered, with the reason.
The message now fits between the tabs and the buttons in every theme; in
Nord and Christmas it ran into Sync. The macOS export preset is removed,
and the unused download_client_* functions are replaced by
fetch_client_download_url.

Covers: statistics cards show the soundtrack's cover on the left, and the
statistics popup shows it large. Until it arrives, and without a cover, the
soundtrack's initials stand in. Covers load only for cards on or near the
screen, three at a time, and are cached in covers/ next to the settings
(CoverCache), downloaded again only when cover_modified changes. The index and
file handling are shared with CharacterCache in a new FileCache.
Alternative names: the popup shows them and has an editor (add, remove, save)
that sends PUT /soundtracks/{uuid}/alternative-names. The statistics search and
the Search popup find soundtracks by them; Search shows the matching name after
the real one. Search now loads /soundtracks, falling back to the plain list.
The API types are regenerated from the server's spec, with a SoundtrackCover
theme style in every theme.

Popups fade in while growing and close the reverse way, with the backdrop
fading along. The winner gets confetti, bouncing pictures and a score graph
that draws itself from the left. Filtered statistics cards and search rows
fade in, the tabs slide in from their side, and every button bounces on hover
and click (ButtonBounce, now added to all buttons).
In the player list the score pops on every point, the first point flashes the
row, and a player on match point glows with a "Match point!" tag. A song
starting fades in the title, flashes its row (kept across list rebuilds) and
pops the play button.
Common/anim.gd holds the helpers. A saved "Reduce animations" switch in
Settings turns all movement off; the tests use it. The flash colours are
theme colours (Palette first_point, match_point, flash) in every theme.

Christmas red window and panels with snow white buttons and red text, a thick
white "fur" trim on popups, cards, the lists and the player bar, the tree's
green for the chosen tab and the play button, and gold for the playing song and
highlights. Icons on buttons take the text's colour, and drop-down lists stay
dark red so their arrow shows. It uses Nord's round shapes.

Nord (themes/nord_theme.tres) uses the app icon's blues, darkened, with Nord's
Snow Storm text, Frost and Aurora accents and the playing song in Aurora
yellow. Its shapes are round: pill buttons and tabs, 14-16 px corners, soft
shadows on popups, cards and the player bar, rounded scroll bars, sliders and
text fields, and seven Aurora/Frost colours for the score graph. Classic stays
the default.
The player bar now has 16 px to the song buttons, the player list, Quiz
settings and the window's bottom edge, and the right edges line up at 1856.
The volume icon is a flat button with a PlayerIcon style, so each theme colours
it; it was nearly invisible on Original web's light grey bar.

Settings has a Theme row listing Settings.THEMES: Classic (main_theme.tres,
still the default) and Original web (original_web_theme.tres), which looks like
MusicFrontend: orange-bordered buttons, a #333 header and popups, #424242
panels, #4e4e4e alternating rows, a yellow playing song and a light grey
player bar. Picking one sets the root window's theme at once and saves it as
theme_id in settings.cfg, and it is applied at start.
The popup backdrop and score graph follow a theme switch. The top bar has its
own TopBarBackground style. test_theme.gd checks that every theme has
everything main_theme.tres has. The screenshot tool takes a theme id.

Buttons get 12 px of side padding. The top bar buttons, the quiz toolbar and
Show answer/Next are laid out in rows with 12 px gaps and are all 36 px tall,
and the ±1 buttons use a compact StepButton style. "Randomize new track" is now
"Next song".
Player rows show the name and the score apart, alternate like the other lists
and highlight the character under the mouse. The name field is a LineEdit with
a 10-letter limit; blank and duplicate names are refused, and a full list says
"Up to 7 players". Remove buttons update when editing is switched instead of
every frame, and the spacer panels are gone.

The bar is rounded and a little taller, with a round orange play button
and a restart button that lights up orange under the mouse. The icons sit
inside their buttons with room around them, and are one colour, cropped to
their shape. Progress fills in orange, the volume slider gets a speaker
icon, and the buttons say their shortcut keys in their tooltips.
Buttons grow a little under the mouse and shrink while held down, and the
play button pops when it switches between play and pause. ButtonBounce
holds these animations so other buttons can use them too.
The players' pictures sit on the right in even lines of at most four, each
ending at the row's right edge, so five pictures are 3 + 2 and seven 4 + 3.
The text takes the room they leave and wraps only when it does not fit, and
the row is as tall as the taller of the two, instead of a width fixed by
the number of pictures.
Rows are rounded and alternate like the other lists, are highlighted under
the mouse, and the playing song has an orange edge. Clicking a picture
clicks its song.
A Soundtracks / Songs switch in the statistics toolbar shows a list of
every song with its soundtrack and how often it was played. It is searched
on both song and soundtrack names, filtered and sorted like the cards, and
clicking a song shows its soundtrack's popup.
The server has tens of thousands of songs, so the list only makes the rows
on screen and reuses them while scrolling, songs are sorted once per load,
and searching waits for a pause in typing.
Closes#47
- A Quiz settings button under the player bar opens a small card above
it with the quiz settings, including Auto repeat, which moves there
from under the player bar. The card does not dim the quiz, so it can
be changed during a song, and grows to fit its rows.
- A Settings button in the top bar opens the application settings:
server, fullscreen and songs to download ahead. Quick sync is gone,
as the server no longer has it, and the server list is in Settings.
- Labels use sentence case, and seconds to hide show as whole numbers.
- Debug builds switch to the local server and a low winning score in
the Settings autoload, before any scene asks the server for anything.
The DEBUG label moves to the top bar, so it shows on every tab.
- Search moves from the top bar back to the quiz toolbar, as the
Statistics tab has its own search.
Character select
- A card only picks its character when it is clicked. Before, every card
watched every click, so clicking below the panel could pick a card
scrolled out of view there.
- Six columns of fixed-size cards that scroll for any number of
characters, with a gap between the cards and the scrollbar.
- Pictures are read as PNG, JPG or WebP by their first bytes, so JPGs no
longer print an error. Names are split into words ("Paper Mario") and
the card under the mouse is highlighted.
Shortcuts
- Alt+Z restarts the song; it was listed as "Reset".
- Grouped by what the keys do, in sentence case, and the panel fits the
list. A test checks that every button shortcut is listed.
Log
- Scrolls to the newest row, alternates row colours and says "Nothing
has happened yet" when empty.
QR
- A title, and the code is set up in one place.
- The search field is a single-line field, so Enter no longer adds a
line break that made every search come up empty.
- The field, button and list use real font sizes from the theme instead
of being drawn at half size and scaled up, so the text is sharp, and
everything fits inside the panel.
- Results have alternating row backgrounds like the other lists, a count
("3 of 1045 soundtracks") and a message when nothing matches.
- The letters that matched are highlighted.
- Searches shorter than Settings.LETTERS_FOR_LOOSE_SEARCH (3) only find
names that contain the text, instead of names with the letters far
apart, which matched most of the library. The Statistics tab uses the
same search.
The Winner popup now shows every player's score after each song as a
step line, with the winning score marked, and three facts under it: the
longest streak, the longest standstill and the song most players scored
on. The data comes from the points each song already records, through
the new ScoreHistory. The popup grows to 1600x920 with the graph across
the full width, so a 60-song game with five players stays readable.
Reset points now starts a new game: it clears the points on the songs
and the graph starts after the song that was playing. Songs already on
the server at startup count as an earlier game.
The screenshot tour has a long five-player game, and only the Winner
popup differs from before.
Godot's built-in font has no Japanese, so kanji in song names showed as
boxes. The theme now sets Godot's own Open Sans SemiBold as its default
font, with Noto Sans JP Medium as fallback. The Noto file's line metrics
are set to Open Sans's, so line heights stay the same and every other
screen is pixel-identical; fonts/README.md explains how to redo it.
Search and Sync move right to where the Statistics button was.
Part of #41. The top bar has Quiz and Statistics tabs instead of the
Statistics button. The Statistics tab replaces the quiz below the top bar
(the song keeps playing) and shows every soundtrack as a card with its
plays, last played date and most and least played songs, loaded from the
new GET /api/v1/statistics/soundtracks. The cards can be searched (with
the Search popup's matching, now in SoundtrackSearch), filtered on played
or never played, and sorted A-Z, Z-A, most or least played. Clicking a
card opens a popup with all its songs.
Screenshots of the other states only differ in the top bar, and the
layout baseline is taken again with the new statistics states.
themes/main_theme.tres is the project theme. It holds Godot's default look for
every control type the game uses, plus named styles for the game's own look
(popups, the background, spacers, list rows, title and text sizes, highlights)
and a palette for the popup dimming. Scenes and scripts name these styles
instead of setting colours, sizes or style boxes, and the five old theme files
are gone. themes/README.md explains the styles and how to make a new theme.
The screenshot tour now uses the real character pictures, so the layout
baseline is taken again. Screenshots are pixel-identical to before, and
test_theme.gd checks that the look stays in the theme.
main/ holds the main window and top bar, quiz/ the quiz and its parts,
player/ the music player, popups/ every popup and what they share, data/ the
