Animal Crossing Theme — Sunny Meadow

Date: 2026-05-18
Status: Approved

Summary

Add a fifth design theme ("animal-crossing") to the hyyzhome IoT learning portal. The theme captures the warm, cozy Animal Crossing aesthetic: leaf greens, cream backgrounds in light mode, and deep forest tones in dark mode.

Reference: https://guokaigdg.github.io/animal-island-ui/

Behavior

  • Supports both light and dark modes (no forced mode, unlike Terminal/Cyberpunk)
  • Default: follows the user's current light/dark preference
  • Slug: "animal-crossing" (kebab-case, consistent with "material-you")

Visual Style

  • Border radius: 16px on cards (vs Fluent's 12px), 14px on controls — slightly softer
  • Hover: gentle translateY(-2px) lift + green glow shadow matching accent
  • Backdrop filter: same acrylic blur as Fluent (20px blur, 180% saturate)
  • No special font override — system sans-serif for legibility
  • No animations — keeps the theme calm and lightweight
