Refine calendar display layout and features

Major improvements to the calendar display application:

- Redesigned weather display: moved forecast to header alongside time
- Added 3-day forecast with icons and high/low temps in header
- Simplified main layout: removed separate weather section, calendar now full-width
- Made layout more compact to fit on one screen without scrolling
- Added 2 new background images for rotation
- Updated image rotation interval to 1 minute
- Improved responsive design and spacing

The display now shows:
- Header: Time/date on left, current weather + 3-day forecast on right
- Main: Full-width calendar events section
- Footer: Dad joke

All elements now fit on a single screen with a clean, readable layout.
