ScreenCade has received a major visual overhaul! This update introduces a **Dynamic Theme System** to the settings menu—allowing you to select from four retro presets (Safety Orange, Cyber Cyan, Matrix Green, Synthwave Pink) or create a fully customized color palette that persists across sessions. Alongside this, we have refactored all six game engines to support dynamic theme palettes, upgraded the global typography to Space Grotesk and Space Mono, and added high-fidelity retro dot-matrix and CRT grain noise overlays to elevate the arcade aesthetic.
