Apple Music Theme for Symfonium, by RoyalGuard

Happy new year (2026), I’m proud to annouce the Stable release of the Apple Music Theme for Symfonium.

From now on, this post will serve as a quick way to find out if a new version has been released.

If you are new, welcome and thanks for taking an interest into my theme!

Main Features:

  • Dynamic Text:

    • This text mimics the Apple Music quality indicator, so it will have the 5 modes that Apple Music has:
      • High Efficiency less than 256 kpbs
      • High Quality 256-320 kpbs (changed cause private libraries don’t have a hard 256 kpbs limit, unlike Apple Music)
      • Lossless up to 24-bit/48kHz
      • Hi-Res Lossless up to 32-bit/192 kHz (changed cause private libraries may have 32-bit content)
      • Dolby Atmos for any track that isn’t Stereo
  • Dark and Light Theme

  • Landscape Mode

  • The Apple Music style

Current release: V2

This release requires Symfonium 14.0.0 or higher

Open an issue for the white image with details and the file to repro.

The texts should switch to black in that case.

Thank you so much for sharing this :grin:

By any chance do you have a cool look for the home screen of syfonimum I really in joy this player looks amazing

It’s not Apple Music Themed, but this is what I use myself (it should include also this theme)

I’m planning to make a whole Apple Music Theme, but I’ve not started yet since this one looks pretty nice to me, always thanks to the base themes that Tolriq provides (this should be one of the themes with little to no modifications)

Question when you do could you share this would be awesome thank you again for sharing these are amazing

Question amazing now playing screen one thing has w would you get rid of when you scrub through the song how do you hide the number in over the song cover pls help :grin:

I’m happy to announce the release of the first Beta of the complete Apple Theme for Symfonium!

I’d like to thank Tolriq for providing the extensive theming support on the app, without it, it would have been impossible to create this theme.

Main Features:

Now Playing Screen

Obviously, this theme has the already developed Now Playing Screen that I refined. This release has a fix for the Edge case for covers that feature too much white, the equalizer button has now been replaced by the cast button and a minor fix for the text on the lyrics page.

Home/General Interface

I’m happy how it came out, the colours are 1:1, the interface is as close as it can be. I’ve tried to replicate the style of the different sections by alternating between Row (Grid) and Row (Image Grid)

At first, I admit that I didn’t like it myself, but after working on it for a while, it grew on me.

Please send feedback if you encounter a bug. (There is a known “bug“ which is that if you tap and hold, the floating interface has a white background. As of now, I have no idea how to fix it without breaking everything)

Thanks again and I hope you enjoy it!

Hi, unfortunately I have no idea how to remove that. I didn’t even notice it. I’ll try to find out if it can be removed. Also, check out the new theme :grin:

@Tolriq could you maybe let me edit the first thread and the title of the thread to link and give more presence to the full theme release? Thanks. (I’d rather not open a new thread, or maybe I could open a new one and delete this one. There is no reason to have 3 threads about Apple Music on the forum in my opinion)

You can already edit titles and content.

Not for old content.

The post where I metioned you:

Try again ? bla bla bla bla

Sure sure :rofl:

Strangely it works now, I wonder if something changed…

Beta v2

Changes:

  • Now Playing Screen: The Dynamic text now reflecs Apple Music audio quality options. The quality options are:
    • High Efficiency less than 256 kpbs
    • High Quality 256-320 kpbs (changed cause private libraries don’t have a hard 256 kpbs limit, unlike Apple Music)
    • Lossless up to 24-bit/48kHz
    • Hi-Res Lossless up to 32-bit/192 kHz (changed cause private libraries may have 32-bit content)
  • Now Playing Screen: The text will not be based on the codec and the various values, but only on the values of the track. This is more robust and it expands the compatibility to any codec.

It asks for a password to apply the theme.

It should work now, sorry. Welcome to the community forum!

As a reminder you can put the hi res text on the same line as the times with \t and \o :wink:

This is awesome question though how did you add the secondary circle that goes over the more option and the like option like what Apple has
