Seasonal Themes
Seasonal Themes put a small mark on the site that changes with the time of year, and can be switched off. It never changes how a game plays. Free.
Seasonal Themes add a small mark beside the site name that changes with the season. It is decoration and nothing else — no game plays differently because of it.

How to use Seasonal Themes
Decoration only, never gameplay
The seasonal mark never alters a game's rules, difficulty, colours of pieces, or scoring. If a seasonal change could affect play, a game would be a different game in December than in June, and a score would not mean the same thing twice.
It does not affect layout at all
The mark is drawn as a decoration on the site name rather than as a new element in the page, so it cannot move anything. A decoration that shifts the layout is not a decoration — it is a redesign that happens four times a year.
You can turn it off
There is an on and off switch in the settings panel, and the choice is remembered. Anything that changes on its own should be possible to stop.
Checked against a real calendar, not only the season
Before a seasonal mark is shown, it is checked against the calendar and customs it belongs to. A motif that reads as celebration in one place can read as something else in another, so a mark is never shown on the strength of the month alone.
Nothing is downloaded for it
The mark is drawn by the page rather than loaded as an image, so it adds no request and nothing to wait for.
Seasonal Themes — Frequently Asked Questions
Does the seasonal change affect how games play?
No. It is a mark beside the site name and nothing else. Rules, difficulty, piece colours and scoring are untouched, so a score means the same thing all year round.
Can I switch it off?
Yes — there is an on and off choice in the settings panel, and it is remembered on this device.
Can it move things around on the page?
No. It is drawn as a decoration on the site name rather than added as an element, so it cannot shift the layout.
What if a seasonal mark does not suit my region?
Every mark is checked against the customs it belongs to before being shown. If something reads wrong for where you are, switching it off is one tap.
Does it need installing or an account?
No. It is part of the site and is remembered on this device only.
