• source/CameraUI_Assets.car – CameraUI asset catalog (contains kidque_icon)
• transparent/webm/ – the 15 animations at 1024px with transparency (VP9 + alpha; Safari support is unreliable)

Background texture

Kid Cue plays Snoopy animations (transparent) over a generated background. The app takes shutterbuddy_bg_template.png (82x2160, a vertical halftone gradient: tiny dots at the top, solid black at the bottom) and false-colors it with CIFalseColor (black -> dark colour, white -> light colour). background/make_background.py recreates it:

python3 background/make_background.py out.png 1024 1024 '#4678BA' '#7D9EDF'

The colours are Apple's real palette, decoded from the CameraUI binary (background/colorways.json). ShutterBuddyMediaManager builds 13 named BackgroundColorways, each with a bg and a dot colour, and logs "Picked session colorway" when it chooses one per session. White in the template becomes bg, black becomes dot.

colorway	bg	dot		colorway	bg	dot

lunar	#B199DB	#7C70B8		woodstock	#EFCE80	#E49F4E
newspaper	#E4E4E4	#B6B6B6

blanket matches the shutterbuddy_menu_content image from the asset catalog. Swatches are in background/swatches/. Dot pitch of my recreation is approximate. The pairing of animation to colorway in composited/mp4/ is my own, for demo purposes only, since the app picks a colorway per session.

composited/mp4/ has all 15 animations over backgrounds (python3 background/render_all.py regenerates them).
