The Discord server banner (page + PNG), the server icon render and Kira's avatar (SVG master +
render) now live in the private kira repo (ludovic111/kira#1). xtask icons no longer renders them;
the brand README points there, and CONTRIBUTING states what belongs in this repository.

The classic title screen's banner now reads "RUST EDITION". It is rebuilt
at load time from the player's own textures/gui/title/edition.png:
"EDITION" is kept column for column, the "T" is lifted out of it, and R, U
and S are Horizon's own glyphs (rectangles in title_edition.rs) drawn the
way the texture's letters are built, in shades sampled from it. "RUST"
spans "JAVA"'s columns, so the banner stays centred. Only vanilla 26.3's
exact texture (pixel fingerprint) is rebuilt: a resource pack's banner is
left as drawn. No Mojang pixels are added to the repository.
The logo and banner are now blitted as LogoRenderer does: the logo's top
44 of 64 rows and the banner's top 14 of 16 rows at y = 30 + 44 - 7
(the banner was 20 px too low and squeezed 16 rows into 14).

The README banner is redrawn in the new design (docs/media/banner.html), and the launcher and
menu screenshots (README and website) are the restyled ones. The website's launcher section
gains a Launcher tab: its screenshots no longer show the old background, whose licence was
never confirmed.

macOS: packaging/macos/package.sh (run by launcher.yml) builds Horizon.app (Info.plist, bundle
id dev.horizon.launcher, macOS 11+, the .icns), signs it ad hoc, and makes the two release
assets: horizon-launcher-macos-arm64.dmg, the installer (the app and an Applications link over
a background, laid out by dmgbuild without a GUI), and the .zip the launcher updates from. A
launcher inside the app replaces the whole bundle: copied beside it with ditto, swapped in by
renames, restarted; a bare binary, as older launchers are, still finds its binary in the zip.
A macOS test zips, unpacks, swaps and re-verifies a signed bundle. Signing for real is a
MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY away (packaging/macos/README.md, with what Gatekeeper asks meanwhile).
Linux: release builds keep horizon-launcher.desktop (with the binary's current path),
horizon.desktop (hidden, for the game window's icon) and the hicolor icons under
$XDG_DATA_HOME, without root; `horizon-launcher desktop-entry --remove` takes them out and
stops it, `desktop-entry` puts them back.

The mark is an H whose crossbar is the horizon: a violet line edge to edge, the stems above it
and their reflection below at a third, on whole units of a 16-unit grid so it stays sharp at
16 px. docs/media/brand holds the SVG masters (square icon, macOS tile, avatars, the mark for
light and dark backgrounds), the two alternatives that were shown with it, the GitHub social
preview and the Discord banner, and a README of what goes where and how to upload what only
Ludovic's accounts can.
`cargo run -p xtask -- icons` renders the masters (rsvg-convert) and packs, in plain Rust:
packaging/icons/horizon.ico and horizon.icns, Linux's hicolor icons 16–512 and the scalable
SVG, the game's run-time window icon, the avatars and the website's favicons.
packaging/linux has .desktop entries for the launcher and the game.
On Windows, build.rs embeds the .ico as icon resource 1 in horizon-client (and its tools) and
horizon-launcher (winresource, a Windows-only build dependency); gpui loads that resource as
the launcher's window icon. The game window sets the icon itself (X11, Windows) and names
itself `horizon` on Wayland so the desktop entry matches.

- A banner in the website's design (Instrument Serif wordmark over a dimmed
sunset, purple accent), rendered from docs/media/banner.html with Playwright.
- Screenshots of Horizon's own menus and graphics settings, the in-game scenes
as WebP (from the website's media), and the launcher 0.1.3 Play and Patch
notes pages; the JPEGs the README no longer uses are removed.
- A "What changed" section matching the v2026.10.13.1 release notes.
- Download only through the launcher (playhorizon.dev or launcher-v releases).
- Roadmap: performance optimisation, mod support and agent control.

The Horizon options shell's Video section now holds the graphics settings:
a Simple / Advanced switch (remembered in horizon-graphics.txt), then the
level's rows, each with its frame-time cost and one-line description
(ui_theme::described_row). Horizon settings draw as switches, sliders or
value buttons like vanilla options. The Classic style keeps the Video
Settings buttons to the same screens. Main's menu blur and the world's
resolution-scale pass are separate (post.wgsl, world_post.wgsl).

Video Settings opens two Horizon screens (graphics_ui): Simple has the
Performance / Balanced / Quality / Ultra presets with render distance, FOV,
max framerate, VSync and GUI scale; Advanced groups every knob under
Rendering, Quality, Display, Performance and Overlay. Each row shows a
one-line description and its frame-time cost, and applies live. Layout lives
in graphics_ui, every colour, size and widget call in graphics_style, so a
menu theme can restyle them in one place.
Horizon-only knobs (horizon-graphics.txt, never options.txt): preset, cave
culling, chunk updates and upload budget per frame (nearest sections first),
sky, fog, weather, animated textures, present mode, frame pacing, worker
threads and the performance overlay (FPS, frame/CPU/GPU times and a
frame-time graph). Defaults keep vanilla's rendering; vanilla options keep
their options.txt keys.

Options open as the launcher's Settings page: a sidebar with the sliding
selection (Video, Audio, Controls, Accessibility, Language, Chat, Interface)
and rows with a switch, slider or value button per option
(options_horizon.rs; new sections or rows slot into SECTIONS). Key binds,
the language list and resource packs open vanilla's pages. Interface holds
Menu style (Horizon / Classic). The pause menu hides the in-game HUD over the
blurred world. Scripted and frame-limited runs default to Classic, so the
harnesses see vanilla's screens.

GameRenderer.render3dHud sets up the hand's projection at Camera's hudFov
(70, changed only by death and fluids), never the FOV option or the
sprint, speed and bow modifier. The hand pass now has its own globals
with that projection (a port of JOML setPerspective, as Projection does).
The camera harness compares the world and hand projection matrices at FOV
options 30, 70, 110 and others with vanilla's.

An original logo (a sun setting behind a blocky horizon), a banner and a social
preview card, and six screenshots captured in the Rust client. The README opens
with badges, a short pitch and a gallery; a test keeps the parity badge in step
with the subsystem table. Packaged builds use the logo as their menu icon.
