Feature description
Add a “Pure adaptive color” (or “Solid adaptive color without black fallback”) background style option for the expanded player — a solid color taken from the album art that fills the entire background without fading to black.
Problem solved
The two existing adaptive color options have limitations:
Solid adaptive color → supposed to fill the background with a solid color, but frequently falls back to black, making it unreliable.
Gradient adaptive color → always shows a color, but fades to black toward the bottom, so the entire background never has a consistent color.
There is no option that guarantees a full, solid, non-black adaptive color across the entire background.
Brought benefits
A full adaptive color background would be visually striking and modern — similar to how some music apps display a vibrant colored background that matches the album art. If buttons or the progress bar blend into the background, the existing “Background overlay” option can already be used to fix that.
Other application solutions
Apple Music and other modern players display a full vibrant background color extracted from the album art, without fading to black.
Device type
Phone
Additional description and context
The existing “Background overlay” option already provides a solution for contrast issues that may arise when the background color is too similar to the UI elements — so a pure adaptive color option would not require additional contrast handling to be built in.
