Make a third theme that looks clearly different using only the theme: blue, based on the blue of the app icon and inspired by the KDE Nord theme, with other shapes such as round corners. It goes in the theme picker from #42, so do that first.
Colours
From the icon (icon.svg):
background gradient #6fb1d6 → #2e6a94;
plate rim #3b6ea5;
window panes #2f5d86.
Nord palette:
Polar Night #2E3440 #3B4252 #434C5E #4C566A for backgrounds and panels;
Snow Storm #D8DEE9 #E5E9F0 #ECEFF4 for text;
Frost #8FBCBB #88C0D0 #81A1C1 #5E81AC for accents;
Aurora #BF616A #D08770 #EBCB8B #A3BE8C for wrong/right, points and the winner.
Mix: Polar Night backgrounds, Frost and icon blues as the accent instead of today's orange, and a warm accent (Aurora orange/yellow, or the icon's falu red #c63b2f) for "playing now" and highlights.
Shapes
These are all StyleBoxFlat settings, so no code changes:
large corner radius on panels and popups (12–16px);
pill-shaped buttons and tabs (radius = half the height);
soft shadows on popups and cards (shadow_size, shadow_color);
thin 1px borders, or none;
more content margins;
rounded scroll bars and slider grabbers.
Icons in icons/ (play, restart, add player, knobs) are images outside the theme and may look off on blue. Recolour them by modulate from the theme, or make blue variants.
Plan
themes/nord_theme.tres: start from main_theme.tres, keep every named style and add it to the theme list.
Make 2–3 quick colour variants as screenshots (tools/take_screenshots.gd) and pick one before polishing all styles.
The ScoreGraph player colours need 7 distinct colours that work on the blue background (Aurora + Frost).
test_theme.gd already checks the styles once the theme picker exists.
Questions
Nord-dark (dark grey-blue background) or a lighter, bluer look closer to the icon?
Should this become the default theme if it turns out well?
