Seasonal Tile coloring - Clientside toggle?

Is it possible that we could get a toggle for the seasonal tile and content?

I find it a bit challenging for two reasons:

  1. For some of us, Christmas/holidays isn’t a great time due to loss of families and estrangements. For those who don’t have a Christmas, it’s not really great to have that shoved in your face especially when you’re trying to escape a little playing roleplay games.
  2. I know for myself, I have color pattern anxiety associated with overload when it comes to color lighting complexity. I find it very difficult to focus and can get headaches when I’m focusing in very complex color palettes. In particular this is the worst kind, where a color is simply overlaid on an existing image which simply washes it out with a primary color. This is about as bad as it gets for me.

I get that it’s fun and some people enjoy it, but a toggle to turn off at least the sounds and most particularly the color tile tinting would be extremely good.

Why not just straight up remove every kind of christmass/holiday decoration, or whatever, because that should be restricted to events and not during the time when most of the people have a lot of it to spare?

I almost puke every time I see santa hat instead of marine helmet.

Additionally, random chance when the ground is being “festivized” for a santa “merry christmas” to be played, which is the same sound sample as the queen scree. So that means that xenos can spam the festive sounds and marines can’t hear when the queen is screeching.

This is infeasible to do on the client because of how BYOND handles client-sided images.
