Swipe‑Based Mode Switching

Performance Impact

Theme assets → pre‑loaded → no runtime decoding. RAM usage ↑ ≈ 30 MB → negligible on modern phones. CPU draw ↓ thanks to static icons. Battery impact → < 1 % over 24 h. No background services → safe for power‑savers.

Customization Limits

No separate icon pack → cannot replace every app icon. Font stays system default → no typography change. Accent color fixed → cannot tweak via Settings. Users seeking granular control → may combine with third‑party icon packs manually.
