About was a bare "Punktfunk / Version x" header over 885 KB of license text — it
answered the one question nobody opens About to ask. It is now the shape every Mac
user already knows: the app's icon, its name, the version (selectable, because a bug
report is worth more with it), the tagline, and then the ways out — documentation,
community, source, licenses. The license wall is still `AcknowledgementsView`, one
push in on iOS/tvOS and a sheet on macOS, where a preferences tab has no navigation
stack to push onto.
Every platform hides the app icon somewhere different and tvOS can't hand it over at
all (layered assets, no single image), so there's a drawn fallback in the same brand
gradient and Geist monogram as the host cards — where the real icon is unavailable it
reads as a mark, not as a broken image. tvOS also has no browser: the addresses are
text to read off the screen rather than links to nowhere.
And profile colours were half-built by me: the catalog stored `accent`, the chips
tinted from it, and nothing in the app ever SET one. The scope menu grows "Color ▸"
over a fixed palette — the chip is small tinted text on a tinted capsule, and a
colour picked freehand lands somewhere unreadable often enough to matter. The palette
is what this client OFFERS, not what it accepts: any `#RRGGBB` another platform
writes still renders, which is what Android needs from this field.
The colour now shows wherever the profile is named — the scope switcher's dot, the
card chips, and the HUD's session line, which tints to the same colour the card that
launched it wore. A colour is an identifier, and an identifier that changes between
surfaces isn't one.
