- Create SiteSetting model for storing site-wide settings - Add SiteSettingsDao for database operations - Create API endpoints for theme management (/api/theme/*) - Add theme manager TypeScript for applying themes on all pages - Create Christmas theme with snowflake animation effects - Add admin UI for theme selection in maintenance page - System is extensible - new themes can be added by: 1. Adding a ThemeID constant and Theme in model/site-settings.go 2. Creating theme effects in web/ts/theme-manager.ts 3. Adding CSS in web/assets/css/themes.css Co-authored-by: SebiWrn <[email protected]>
- Use modern element.remove() instead of parentNode.removeChild() - Simplify redundant condition check for themeId - Keep snowflakes visible (with reduced opacity) for prefers-reduced-motion users instead of hiding entirely Co-authored-by: SebiWrn <[email protected]>

Honestly I think this is a bit much for a theme. Let's just throw a css file into headimports if we want to make this festive. For other site-settings/configurations in the future, let's consider putting them behind a simple feature flag and not try to over-engineer something now that we don't have a usecase for yet.
