## Issue description:

i tried:

- toggling the Now Playing Screen \> Compact Player \> Floating player option
- importing themes from the forum that clearly have a floating now playing screen
- to reinstall the app to reset settings

no effect  
floating player just doesn’t seem to work on my device

I’m on a Pixel 4a with LineageOS 22.2-20250619-NIGHTLY-sunfish (based on Android 15) (bought the app via Ko-Fi).

I read through the logs of me toggling the setting, but there seems to be nothing interesting in there.

Let me know if you need any more information.

You do not show how the player looks like so hard to answer.

I installed this theme to test: [Spotify Theme + Now Playing style Tidal](https://support.symfonium.app/t/spotify-theme-now-playing-style-tidal/9480)

According to the screenshots it has a small floating player and no “now playing” button in the navbar.

I wanted to upload a screenshot of the now playing screen, but the upload doesn’t seem to work.  
It basically looks like the now playing screenshots from the post above, but with a navigation bar that obfuscates the lower 4 buttons.
