The 5 moods
| name | description | status | shared | fallback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| idle | At rest; the starting mood. | Idle | TRUE | NA |
| thinking | Working on something, such as a long calculation. | Thinking | TRUE | NA |
| happy | Something went well. | Happy | TRUE | NA |
| worried | Something needs attention, such as an invalid field. | Worried | TRUE | NA |
| celebrating | A big success, such as a finished task. | Celebrating | TRUE | NA |
The mood never speaks alone. The status line under the mascot shows the character’s line for the mood (or your custom text), so screen readers and anyone who cannot read facial expressions still get the meaning.
