Now playing using vibrant colors

Issue description:

Just a simple question with something I cannot find out. How to get a more contrasting color on the “now playing” screen?

I really like the screenshot in the play store which is playing “Crustacean Rhapsody” but I cannot get my Symfonium to look like this. In my install it extracts a much lighter color from the album art. I really like that more darker style where the icons also become white. I tried all the settings in interface → theme, fonts and colors.

Is it just a custom theme which has matching colors for the album or is it, as I assume, auto-generated? The options for “Now playing color source” all generate (nearly?) the same color.

From what I can tell the now playing screen takes either the vibrant or dominant color & makes a gradient with white or “charcoal” depending on whether your device is in light / dark mode. The gradient itself seems to stay pretty much the same no matter what options I chose but the colors that appear in the library navigation as well as the icons in the now playing do seem to change a bit nore drastically (depending on the album
I have noticed many albums have similar return of vibrant & dominant colors this seems normal to me though as I also use KLWP to grab colors from album art for my wallaper & I feel the colors returned (on average) are about the same in Symfonium & KLWP.

We have no control over the gradient used though. So making a higher contrast gradient is thus far not in our control which I assume is to make sure text & UI elements will always remain easily visible no matter what vibrant / dominant color is plucked.

My KLWP wallpaper isnt so conservative & I must admit from time to time elements of the wallpaper are hard to read

No logs :slight_smile: No example of the results for the different settings (There’s many)

But in all cases if you are using light mode then the now playing will be light as expected and with enough contrast for the buttons.
