Calm and simple layout w complementary colors

https://reddit.com/link/1tirk5b/video/o1nikj7qmb2h1/player

Wanted something calm and minimal, was wondering what I could come up with as hopefully going for a slim picture frame bezel device next. Kinda digging this.

Most icons from the awesome SicMundus86's GitHub pack, a few more local ones I had to make myself. Lots of fiddling with transparencies and dynamic color settings. The compulsiveness in me is 100% going to make me redo some of the ones that have way thinner margins, I can't deal with that right now though.

Backgrounds scraped from all over the place, added some gradients. Need to figure out an automated way of doing this - Photoshop automation is okay but... still too many clicks imo.

In reality the images change every 6 minutes, got a curated list of AerialViews screensavers to complement the colours as well.

Lag is from atvtools screen capture, not the launcher.

If you've seen my last post asking about a "now playing" for the status bar it would go on the left top corner with some minimal text - that would tie this whole thing together super nicely! If u/Thorfinn66 gets this ping I'd love to chat! 😄

Bleep bloop!

Now Playing as a status bar or screen element?

Hey all, just wondering if there is or has been floated as an idea to have a "now playing" as a text element on the screen? Love the Categories implementation but as I've started playing around with single row and big visual background setups I'd love to have a simple text box metadata info maybe on the top left corner, no images no nothing. Opportunity for a plugin? Too much? Too silly? Just right? : )
