• Adds Settings > Appearance > Screensaver with three rows: Start after (moved from Appearance), Style, and Bouncing (shown for Bouncing and Random).
• Styles: Random (default), Bouncing, Spinning logo, System logos, Cover wall, Recent games, Paddle clock, Starfield, Flyby, Polygons, Snakes, Life and Maze. Random picks a different style each time the screensaver starts and skips styles without enough cover art.
• Bouncing can bounce the logo, the clock or a recent game's cover.
• Choosing header Logo: None switches Bouncing from Logo to Clock. Existing installs with the logo hidden migrate the same way. Nothing else links the two settings.
• Saved as screensaver_style and screensaver_bouncing in the persisted state and frontend.toml [settings]; unknown values read as the defaults.
• Covers come from the 100 most recent and 100 most played games, a random 48 per run, fetched at the Cover wall tile's size through the in-memory cover cache. System logos are drawn in color.
• Style rules and simulations live in zaparoo_app::screensaver with tests. The frontend drives them from screensaver.rs and screensaver_scene.rs, and ui/screensaver.slint draws them.
• Uses only existing art: the Zaparoo logo and icon, the embedded system logos, and the user's covers.
• Polygons, Life and Maze draw whole frames in Rust into a pixel buffer. Sprite styles move a few small items, so each frame repaints little.
• Adds picture mode on MiSTer. While Starfield, Flyby, Polygons, Life or Maze plays, the latch presenter renders at half its geometry and the HDMI scaler stretches the frame. This roughly halves their frame time (Polygons and Maze from 38 ms to 15 ms at 1080p output).
• Each style steps on its own timer at a reduced rate. Measured frame times are recorded in docs/slint-gotchas.md.
• The dual-head CRT mirrors the HDMI screensaver.
• List pickers open with the current row already in place.
• Adds saver-* and crt-saver-* snapshots and the Screensaver settings page snapshots. Updates the customization, architecture, state-type and gotchas docs.

Closes #231

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added configurable screensaver styles, including animated artwork, clocks, game covers, and visual simulations. Random selection avoids repeating the previous style.
  • Added options for bouncing logos, clocks, or recent-game covers, plus a dedicated Screensaver settings page for style and start delay.
  • Screensavers can display available system artwork and recent games; some styles adapt to the available artwork.

Explanation

The title "feat(screensaver): add a Screensaver page with selectable styles" names the primary change. The changeset adds a Settings > Appearance > Screensaver page, selectable styles, and the persisted screensaver_style and screensaver_bouncing settings, along with the style runtime and simulations. The title is specific and matches the main objective.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Issue #231 asks for one new style: Polygon. It also asks for its persistence, its performance limits, and preservation of existing idle and dismiss behavior. The PR adds much more than these items. The following changes have no concrete link to the #231 polygon requirements:

1. Additional screensaver styles not requested by #231: Spinning logo (spin.rs), System logos, Cover wall (wall.rs), Recent games and marquee (marquee.rs), Paddle clock (paddle.rs), Starfield (stars.rs), Flyby (flyby.rs, hops.rs), Snakes (snakes.rs), Life (life.rs), Maze (maze.rs), and contour.rs, bounce.rs as support for these. Maze alone adds about 1,308 lines.
2. Paddle clock, cover fetching, and cover-wall logic in screensaver.rs and screensaver_scene.rs, which support those non-polygon styles.
3. MiSTer picture mode for Starfield, Flyby, Life, and Maze in drs.rs, mister/latch.rs, mister/mod.rs, and mister/platform.rs. This is not required for the polygon style as specified.
4. Dual-head CRT mirroring in dual_head.rs.
5. Settings page restructuring, the Screensaver page, the Style and Bouncing pickers, and the picker row-snap changes in settings.rs, settings.slint, focus.slint, and list_panel.slint. The issue does not request a new settings page or picker behavior.
6. Header logo to Bouncing migration in screensaver::migrate, after_header_logo, and lib.rs. This changes existing bouncing behavior. The issue asks to keep that option unchanged.
7. Icon embedding and raster_at_height in brand.rs, and color_key in system_logos.rs and systems.rs. These serve the non-polygon styles.
8. Snapshot tooling and fixtures for many styles in bin/snapshot.rs and scripts/snapshot-screens.sh. Documentation updates in docs/ cover the same unrequested styles and picture mode.

Not out of scope: the Polygons style and its module, the ScreensaverStyle and Saver plumbing needed to draw it, persist.rs and config.rs persistence of the style, the arm and disarm routing in router.rs, core_ui.rs, update.rs, and the associated tests.

Resolution

Limit this PR to the Polygon style and its direct dependencies: the style enum entry, the polygon module, the persisted style setting, the Saver drawing path needed for polygons, arm and disarm routing, and tests and docs for those items. Move these into separate issues and PRs: Spinning logo, System logos, Cover wall, Recent games, Paddle clock, Starfield, Flyby, Snakes, Life, Maze, and their support modules; MiSTer picture mode, unless the team shows it is required for polygon performance; dual-head mirroring; the Screensaver settings page and picker changes; the header logo to Bouncing migration; brand.rs icon changes; and the associated snapshot and docs changes. Retain the bouncing logo option without changing its existing behavior.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections in substance. The Summary is covered by the opening bullets describing the Screensaver settings page, styles, and persistence. The Motivation is covered by 'Closes #231'. The Screenshots/recordings section is missing. The description does not show 720p or 240p images, which the template requires for visual changes, and it does not state whether just snapshots was run. The Test plan section is missing. The Checklist is missing, so it is unknown whether just lint and just test pass, whether the dirty-region rule and ARM32 review were considered, and whether @tr() strings and just tr-extract were handled. The description covers the change well, but the missing visual evidence and test plan are important for a visual change.

Resolution

Add a Screenshots / recordings section with 720p and, if possible, 240p images of the new Screensaver page and at least one animated style. Include the just snapshots output or a note on it. Add a Test plan section that lists the manual steps and automated tests run. Complete the checklist, including just lint, just test, the dirty-region check for the overlays, the ARM32 review for the MiSTer build, and the @tr() and just tr-extract check for new user-visible strings.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Scope: direct linked issue #231 only. Parent context: none. No contextual or closed targets apply.

Implemented from the PR summary and change list:

• Polygon as a selectable style: Style::Polygons in zaparoo_app::screensaver, ScreensaverStyle::polygons in ui/state_types.slint, and screensaver/polygons.rs. Satisfied.
• Persisted style: screensaver_style in persist.rs, config.rs, and frontend.toml [settings]. Satisfied.
• Opaque black background: ui/screensaver.slint defines a black overlay, and polygons.rs render clears the RGB buffer each frame. Satisfied.
• Small fixed number of solid outlines: CORNERS, two or three outlines, and up to three fading echoes per outline. Echoes are bounded. Satisfied.
• No unbounded trails or accumulating frame buffer: each frame clears the buffer. Satisfied.
• Capped update rate and geometry: timer steps are capped at 0.25 s, and outline count is fixed. Satisfied.
• Idle activation and first-input dismissal: router.rs and route_motion.rs tests route arm and disarm through screensaver. Satisfied, subject to test review.
• Retain bouncing logo: Bouncing option is kept. Satisfied.
• No shaders, blur, or translucent full-screen layers: no evidence of these in the summary. Satisfied, subject to code review.

Unresolved:

• Integer-aligned geometry at CRT resolutions: the summary states latch picture geometry halves each axis with a minimum of 1 px, and tests cover the helper. It does not show a test that checks integer alignment at CRT sizes. Snapshots are visual evidence only.
• Avoid repainting live content under the opaque backstop: the summary does not state how underlying content is excluded from repaint.
• ARM32 benchmarks at CRT, 720p, 1080p, and 1440p: the PR reports only 1080p frame times (Polygons 38 ms to 15 ms, per the description). Hardware benchmarking may be a non-coding acceptance gate. The coding status is not decided here.

Limits: only the submit tool is available. No repository inspection was possible. This verdict relies on the PR summary and change list.

Resolution

Provide evidence for the following:

1. An automated test or documented measurement that checks integer-aligned geometry for the CRT output size. Identify the test or measurement by path.
2. Confirmation from code, or a test, that the Polygons style does not repaint live content under the opaque backstop.
3. If the benchmark gate counts as acceptance criteria for this PR, benchmark results for ARM32 at CRT, 720p, 1080p, and 1440p for the Polygons style.

Skip art prefetch when the configured style does not use art.

prefetch always queries Core history and enqueues up to MAX_COVERS cover decodes. arm skips gather when style == Style::Bouncing && bouncing != Bouncing::RecentGame, but prefetch has no such check. A user with the plain bouncing logo therefore pays for Core requests and cover decodes before every idle timeout, on a MiSTer ARM CPU, for art that is never drawn.

Read the style and bouncing settings at the start of prefetch and return early when the pair needs no art. Keep Random on the prefetch path, because it can resolve to an art style. Reuse this predicate in arm so the two checks cannot drift apart.

Correct the documented fallback for an unknown style.

The comment says an unknown screensaver_style reads as bouncing. Style::parse in rust/zaparoo-app/src/screensaver/mod.rs returns Style::Random for every unknown token. default_screensaver_style() also returns "random". This comment describes a persisted-value contract, so a wrong comment can mislead later migration or fallback work.
