Now Playing colours modified by Symfonium

[RoyalGuard]

Issue description:

If the background is deemed too light, Symfonium will automatically change the colours of the Now Playing screen, ignoring the settings in the Now Playing Interface section.
(Yes, edge cases seem to hit me a lot with this theme)

I’d like for Symfonium to grab the colour after the blur effect is applied, setting the limit for the switch to a higher value would probably achive the same thing.

(Quick question, how can I make the progress bar transparent on the “right” part, like it in the Problemati screenshots?)

Problematic Album Cover (0%, 60% and 100% Blur Full Overlay):

Non Problematic Album Cover (0% and 60%Blur Full Overlay):

White on white would not have enough contrast to be readable.

[RoyalGuard]

In the 60% Problematic Image, it’d be readable.
The problem is that it doesn’t consider the overlay, so it switches to the black text.
(I just replaced the buttons from the non problematic picture to the problematic one)

[Tolriq]

Use 61% or more for the overlay to be taken on account.

[RoyalGuard]

As shown in the picture, it still does that (Original Post). I’ve double checked (since the updated colors may need a track change to appear) and it still does that, even with 100%.
I also found this pretty strange example, which I can’t really figure out how (the percentage of the overlay doesn’t still doesn’t change the outcome).

Default and a Sketch of what it should be:

Upload the full application theme, the songs to reproduce and is your phone light or dark theme ?

[RoyalGuard]

The full application theme is in the original post. I’ve manually set the theme to light.

I don’t really understand what you expect with the settings you use.

You set all the colors to primary, so there’s no way the texts and the icons will be different.

Looking at

The buttons would be clearly not readable so it’s normal that the color switch to black.

If you really want to enforce a color that can break contrast you can use the theme tertiary container.

[RoyalGuard]

The point wasn’t to have some things black and some white. That image was a quick example of part of the result I wanted.
The Tertiary Container does work as gives me the result I was searching for.

Could you please add a Icon style with the Tertiary Container colour (without the overlay)? As of now, Tertiary isn’t even considered.

Btw, I wanted to achieve something like the Apple Music Light Theme (which makes the background wayyyy darker, making this more readable, but I’m not here to ask you to change how the Blur background works. Before you ask, no, even at 100% it isn’t readable, but as I said, I don’t care It actually improves the readability a bit, but that would mean making the dark theme even more tone down then it already is, so I’ll pass. Unless you add a separate setting for light and dark mode)

Apple Music:

What I can do on Symfonium (The second picture is readable, the first one… Sucks to use my theme in light mode)

Still suprised that the HO-KAGO TEA TIME album cover is deemed too light, but this trick does work, so thanks!
I hope the Tertiary color addition to the Icon settings will be trivial.

[RoyalGuard]

(I probably wasn’t in Dark mode, my bad for the deleted post)

I have found the reason for this. Changing from Default to Primary colour causes this (to be clear, the Primary colour is still white, but it goes into protection). The addition of a Tertiary option would fix this override this behaviour.
