Rate my Homescreen and Now Playing Themes

[darkwiiingduck]

This app has really come a long way since it first started. It’s definitely the most customizable music player today. Anyways here’s a rundown of my themes.

#1. Home Screen.

JSON: as-Tidal Card-20250406_225051-symfonium.json (43.2 KB)

It’s supposed to be a mix of the new Tidal interface and Spotify all in one. I’ve made it to be really information dense.

#2. Apple Music.

JSON: nps-Experimental-20250406_225235-symfonium.json (14.5 KB)

This is as close as I was able to get to an Apple Music replica. I’ll explain the icons at the end of the post.

#3. Tidal.

JSON:
nps-Tidal 2.1 Blur-20250406_225155-symfonium.json (14.4 KB)

This is as close as I could get to Tidal’s now playing screen. This is the one I prefer to use the most.

#4. Full Screen.

JSON: nps-Apple Music Full Screen-20250406_225601-symfonium.json (14.4 KB)

This is a full screen now playing screen I made based on a lot of others, most notably Spotify/Apple Music.

Now for the icons. Thanks to the help @mista_j, @splinter and @Vix I was able to make this string to show the explicit icon or the the clean icon depending on if a song is explicit or not. Here’s the string.

String: {🅴 %cleantitle|explicit==“🅴”%}{🅲 %cleantitle|explicit!=“🅴”%}\t{㋡%|favorite==“true”%}{〄%|favorite!=“true”%}

The other icons “㋡” “〄” are meant to show the favourite state of a track with the smiley face show that a track has been favourited and the squiggly line show that a song hasn’t been favourited. These are mostly just to close off the empty space for when the track names are set on the left as the space was annoying. If anyone has better icons for these feel free to share.

Thanks to Tolriq too for the bug fixes and new additions making it possible for me to create these themes.

Glad I Could help!

Thesw look dope!! It’s also really cool to see setups based on streaming services as I’ve never used those ones.

I must admit this fuels some fire for me as I’ve put efforts into customizing my now playing screen but my home screen…not so much. I felt as though after using the app more id sort of build it out brick by brick with the things i like or use the most but it hasnt quite clicked yet.

For the faces you could try these two i found.

Symfonium made them into faces lol look on this site & youll be able to see how your phone will actually display them, for me they arent emojis

I loooove the Full Screen one! Very cool! I’ll have to give that one a try.

Uh. Here’s what I’d say is an edit to the Apple Music np screen. I call it Experiment 2. Used the top bar for the song title.

JSON:
nps-Experiment 2-20250602_224849-symfonium.json (15.7 KB)

Also I’d recommend changing the string for the quality display. It suits my tastes but it might not suit yours.

I like what you did with the Top-bar-turned-track-title in Experiment 2, so that the song heart mechanism is present on the right.

I just wish there was a less hacky way of doing it, and that it was just implemented as an option… I like my current Top Bar the way it is.

I get what you’re saying because if I wanted to do something like this for my tidal screen for example, it’s basically impossible. Plus I’d also like to use it without the item overlay but it just looks weird and improperly padded like that.

Also you can’t adjust the font size or the button size either. It’s just a workaround but even then it’s still annoying to use too.
