## Summary
### What is the goal of this PR?
- Visual UI overhaul
- UI theme selection
### What changes are included?
- Added a setting "UI Theme": Classic, Lyra
- The classic theme is the current Crosspoint theme
- The Lyra theme implements these mockups:
https://www.figma.com/design/UhxoV4DgUnfrDQgMPPTXog/Lyra-Theme?node-id=2003-7596&t=4CSOZqf0n9uQMxDt-0
by Discord users yagofarias, ruby and gan_shu
- New functions in GFXRenderer to render rounded rectangles, greyscale
fills (using dithering) and thick lines
- Basic UI components are factored into BaseTheme methods which can be
overridden by each additional theme. Methods that are not overridden
will fallback to BaseTheme behavior. This means any new
features/components in CrossPoint only need to be developed for the
"Classic" BaseTheme.
- Additional themes can easily be developed by the community using this
foundation
## Additional Context
- Only the Home, Library and main Settings screens have been implemented
so far, this will be extended to the transfer screens and chapter
selection screen later on, but we need to get the ball rolling somehow
:)
- Loading extra covers on the home screen in the Lyra theme takes a
little more time (about 2 seconds), I added a loading bar popup (reusing
the Indexing progress bar from the reader view, factored into a neat UI
component) but the popup adds ~400ms to the loading time.
- ~~Home screen thumbnails will need to be generated separately for each
theme, because they are displayed in different sizes. Because we're
using dithering, displaying a thumb with the wrong size causes the
picture to look janky or dark as it does on the screenshots above. No
worries this will be fixed in a future PR.~~ Thumbs are now generated
with a size parameter
- UI Icons will need to be implemented in a future PR.

This is not a vibe coded PR. Copilot was used for autocompletion to save
time but I reviewed, understood and edited all generated code.

## Summary
* refactors Indexing popups into ScreenComponents (they had different
implementations in different files)
* removes Indexing popup for small chapters
* only show Indexing popup (without progress bar) for large chapters
(using same minimum file size condition as for progress bar before)
## Additional Context
* Having to show even single popup message and redraw the screen slows
down the flow significantly
* Testing results:
* Opening large chapter with progress bar - 11 seconds
* Same chapter without progress bar, only single Indexing popup - 5
seconds

## Summary
Extracted some changes from
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/500 to make
reviewing easier
This PR adds HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for display and GPIO
components, making it easier to write a stub or an emulated
implementation of the hardware.
SD card HAL will be added via another PR, because it's a bit more
tricky.

For the Files screen, I have not made any changes on purpose. For the
Recents screen, we now display the Book title and author. If it is a
file with no epub metadata like txt or md, we display the file name
without the file extension.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** This PR introduces a new "Status Bar"
mode that displays a visual progress bar at the bottom of the screen,
providing readers with a graphical indication of their position within
the book.
* **What changes are included?**
* **Settings**: Updated SettingsActivity to expand the "Status Bar"
configuration with a new option: Full w/ Progress Bar.
* **EPUB Reader**: Modified EpubReaderActivity to calculate the global
book progress and render a progress bar at the bottom of the viewable
area when the new setting is active.
* **TXT Reader**: Modified TxtReaderActivity to implement similar
progress bar rendering logic based on the current page and total page
count.
## Additional Context
* The progress bar is rendered with a height of 4 pixels at the very
bottom of the screen (adjusted for margins).
* The feature reuses the existing renderStatusBar logic but
conditionally draws the bar instead of (or in addition to) other
elements depending on the specific implementation details in each
reader.
* Renamed existing 'Full' mode to 'Full w/ Percentage'
* Added new 'Full w/ Progress Bar' option

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add support for reading plain text (.txt) files, enabling users to
browse, read, and track progress in TXT documents alongside existing
EPUB and XTC formats.
* **What changes are included?**
- New Txt library for loading and parsing plain text files
- New TxtReaderActivity with streaming page rendering using 8KB chunks
to handle large files without memory issues on ESP32-C3
- Page index caching system (index.bin) for instant re-open after sleep
or app restart
- Progress bar UI during initial file indexing (matching EPUB style)
- Word wrapping with proper UTF-8 support
- Cover image support for TXT files:
- Primary: image with same filename as TXT (e.g., book.jpg for book.txt)
- Fallback: cover.bmp/jpg/jpeg in the same folder
- JPG to BMP conversion using existing converter
- Sleep screen cover mode now works with TXT files
- File browser now shows .txt files
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
* Memory constraints: The streaming approach was necessary because
ESP32-C3 only has 320KB RAM. A 700KB TXT file cannot be loaded entirely
into memory, so we read 8KB chunks and build a page offset index
instead.
* Cache invalidation: The page index cache automatically invalidates
when file size, viewport width, or lines per page changes (e.g., font
size or orientation change).
* Performance: First open requires indexing (with progress bar),
subsequent opens load from cache instantly.
* Cover image format: PNG is detected but not supported for conversion
(no PNG decoder available). Only BMP and JPG/JPEG work.
