Interface and themes

Personalize mpvRx themes, player animations, browser layouts, and per-orientation controls.

mpvRx combines Material 3 Expressive surfaces with controls that can be reorganized independently for portrait and landscape playback.

Appearance

• Choose from more than 25 built-in palettes, including Dynamic color, Catppuccin, Nord, Tokyo Night, Rose Pine, Gruvbox, and Dracula.
• Enable the AMOLED variant for pure-black backgrounds.
• Keep player controls dark independently from the rest of the app.
• Select a control transition: Default, Elastic Bounce, Cinematic Scale, Slide Up, or Minimal Fade.

Dynamic color follows the supported Android system palette. Fixed themes are useful when you want the same appearance across devices.

Player layout

Assign actions to top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, and portrait-bottom zones. Keep high-frequency controls near the edge reached by your normal grip, and move infrequent actions into the More sheet.

Browser layout

Local video and music views can use grids or lists with orientation-specific column counts. Album view emphasizes media groups; Tree view exposes filesystem hierarchy. Tablet layouts can place folders or settings beside their detail content.

Safe areas

Window offsets and display-cutout behavior keep controls clear of camera notches and system areas. Use full-bleed only when the device and content benefit from it.
