Sculpt OS 26.04.2 for high-dpi (touch-)screens, doodle-style theme

As a follow-up of my teaser in Sculpt OS 26.04.2 720 BE:

I’ve adapted the themed_decorator and menu_view styles to better suite the high-dpi touchscreen of my StarLite tablet. My intention was also to use a palette that works for people affected by Deuteranopia or Protanopia. Since I have no color blindness, I resorted to simulations, though. If anyone here has some degree of color blindness, I’d be happy to receive your feedback!

The style is still work-in-progress as I also want to adapt the pointer shape and font. Nevertheless, I published my current Sculpt image to my depot available from depot.genode.org.

Thank you for improving the usability via touchscreen. I tried it for online participation at Wikimania. The idea with the color scheme, which should be better recognizable by people with color vision weakness, I think is great. Thus, the Sculpt OS theme with improved accessibility also fits perfectly to the event.

I’ve updated my Sculpt image for StarLite to 26.10. It’s available as 2026-11-02.

Sculpt 26.10 introduced a configurable default pointer shape (via /model/child/pointer). Of course, I made use of this in the new image and added a shape matching the doodle-style theme.
