/* Theme "gamxo": a dark gaming-news/esports magazine look modeled on the
   Gamxo WordPress theme (radiustheme.com/demo/wordpress/themes/gamxo).
   Dark utility bar + full-bleed dark hero with a strong outlined CTA,
   a horizontal "ticker strip" of circular-thumbnail mini stories right
   under the hero (this theme's signature, distinct from every other
   theme's hero treatment), flat red section-header blocks over an
   otherwise light/white content body, and category badges colored per
   category (not a single flat accent) the way gaming sites tag genres.
   Same renderHome/renderCategory/renderPost/renderTag/renderSearch/
   renderAbout contract as every other theme (see
   functions/_themes/gamxo.js). */
