👑 New Feature: Redesigned Hover Card (opt-in).
The little card that pops up when other players hover your username has had a glow-up. Opt in from Dashboard --> Preferences → Cosmetics → Hover Backgrounds to switch your card to the new layout: a cleaner identity card with your paw, status, and stats up top; your active pet front-and-center; and a featured-achievements row where the medals grid used to be. Other players still see the classic card on anyone who hasn't opted in — nothing changes for free until you turn it on.

👑 New Feature: Featured Achievements.
The achievements that appear on your hover card are the ones you've starred on /achievements.php — hit the ⭐ next to any achievement to feature it. If you haven't starred enough, your most recent earns fill in the rest. Hovering an icon in the card shows its name, so you (and the people peeking at your profile) can finally tell what each one is.

🎨 Visual Update: Pick a Background Gradient.
With the new style on, you also get six curated background gradients to choose from — Warm Parchment, Soft Mint, Twilight, Berry, Sandstone, and Greyscale — all chosen so the text stays readable on any theme. Click in Cosmetics → Hover Backgrounds to set one (or click the active one to clear it).

👑 New Feature: Pet Borders.
Any avatar border you've unlocked can now also frame the pet preview in your hover card. Each border in Cosmetics → Avatar Borders has a new "Use on pet" toggle — flip it on a different border than your avatar's, or the same one, or neither. The borders panel even shows your headshot crop and a side-by-side pet preview so you can see how the pair will look together before you commit.

👑 New Feature: Inline Profile Comments.
Hovering a friend who's on the new card style now shows a small "Leave a comment" disclosure right inside the card — drop a quick note without leaving the page you're on. Posts the same way the full profile composer does, just without the round-trip.

🔍 Improvement: Live Preview For Hover Backgrounds.
Cosmetics → Hover Backgrounds now shows the actual card other players see — your avatar, title, status, pet, and featured achievements — right above the swatch grid. Hover any background to try it on; click to apply. The page also makes it crystal clear that this card is what shows up to *everyone else* who hovers your name around the site.
