The pictures of tile pages still had the Previous and Next words and the "1 / 4" counter from
before 0.2.82. The 26 pictures that show the bar are rendered again from firmware 0.2.69 with the
chevrons and page dots, and pick up the smoother icons of 0.2.75 on the way. The Screen group of
the settings page gained a Page buttons row and now has a second page, so its picture shows the
first page with the pager, and its description says where the page buttons and the rotation went.
Rendered from the host firmware and the real add-on on the same demo homes as the earlier pictures.

Dark mode is a new switch under Brightness on the screen's settings page, in
the Screen settings of ESP Screens and as switch.<screen>_dark_mode in Home
Assistant, so an automation can turn it on at bedtime. The screen changes
look at once, open cards and an alert included, and keeps it after a
restart. The design stays the same: a black page, graphite cards with a
hairline, soft white text, Home Assistant's state colours where they tell
something, and pastel card colours as deeper versions of themselves.
Every colour the firmware chooses now lives in components/smart_display/
theme.h: roles with a light and a dark value, the named card colours and
Home Assistant's state colours. The board profiles give widgets colourless
shared styles that theme.h fills, so a change of look refills those styles
and draws again what code painted by state. The light look is unchanged
apart from merges below one panel step. Dark mode costs 440 bytes of static
RAM on the CYD, and the LVGL tree of the host build is 416 bytes smaller; tests
keep colours out of every other file.
Comparing a screen that switched looks with one that booted in it also
found two older bugs, now fixed: a settings switch that was on showed its
knob at the left whenever its page was drawn, and the sun card's sunlit
area turned orange after a palette change. Firmware 0.2.54.
