Look, theme and colours
- “Look” (styles): Cinema (the original), Paper, Terminal, Pastel, Retro TV, Console, Mosaic, Catalogue, Aurora, Stage, Stage by day, Newsstand, Newsstand night and Noir. They change the design and move the bar. They can also be imported (JSON file), copied and deleted. Without a licence only “Cinema” is available.
- “Theme”: “Dark”, “Light” or “Follow system” (only with the Cinema look).
- “Interface colour”: Original (red), Ocean (blue), Emerald (green), Amethyst (purple), Amber (orange) and Rose.
New looks
Besides the ones above there are Stage (Platea: like Prime Video on TV — what you look at is shown large on top, the focus frame stays put and the rows move), Drive-in, Synthwave, Gala, Abyss, Comic Panel, Folio, Zen and Video Store. A look can be meant for certain devices: Stage and Drive-in are offered on TV and desktop only; on a phone they do not appear and, if they were selected, Cinema is used.
