GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 6: Dynamic Theme

By
The theme engine gmmp uses (aesthetic) was deprecated by its developer, so I decided to completely take it over and reworked it to better suit gmmp.  Performance is improved and everything should get themed immediately instead of after the UI loads (on slower devices you could see the colors change, but it wasnt really noticeable on better devices).  One of the big reasons for all of this was the main new feature of beta 6, dynamic theming.

The dynamic theme is on by default and will choose theme colors based off album or artist artwork.



Under the advanced settings, you will have more fine grained control over how the dynamic theme works.  The top 3 options control which parts of the UI get themed.  Now playing is self explanatory, grid items is for the album, artist, and album artist grid list, and other is for the rest of the UI.  The last 2 settings control the color selection.  Use single color will pick a single color from the artwork, and create 3 different shades of that color for the theme.  With this setting off, the accent color will typically be different from the primary and primary dark.  The last setting, "Prefer Vibrant Colors", gives priority to vibrant colors over the more bland/muted colors.  The screen shots below will show the differences.




Here is a video showing the theme changing as the playing track changes:



3.0 Beta 6 (2020-05-23):

Updated aesthetc and material dialogs to latest versions
Reworked theming code for better performance

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

By
I was not planning on putting out any more 3.4.x updates, however google refused to approve the 3.5 beta due to some policy updates that caused the existing 3.4.x version already released to no longer be compliant.  Therefore 3.4.15-3.4.17 are basically the work I've been doing on 3.5 for the last 16 months, but with all the new features disabled.  I would like to put them through more testing before enabling to the public, hence the beta. 3.4.17 (2024-10-25): Fixed crash on android 14+ trying to verify the unlocker 3.4.16 (2024-10-24): Fixed multi select in album details highlighting the wrong item 3.4.15 (2024-10-23): Update target api level to 34 Updated dependencies Manual scans are no longer ran in a foreground service due to google's new policies Last played time added to song info pop up Fixed issue where extra space was added in artists with numbers in name Increased full search limit from 100 to 10000 results Fixed issue with files missing tags showing up in the unkno...
