Themes, Colors, Language and Units - Making the App Look and Read Like Yours

Color theme, in General, switches the whole app between Auto, Light and Dark. Underneath it sit six custom accent themes - a dark and a light version each of green, blue and red - applied app-wide and kept across restarts. Secondary text adapts its color to whichever of the six you pick, so captions and hints stay readable against every accent instead of only the two plain themes.

Language/Язык/Мова, in General, opens a searchable list of every interface language. The app reads in thirteen of them: English, Russian and Ukrainian are complete, and Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Urdu carry roughly 98 percent of the text, edition-specific screens included. A caption with no translation yet falls back to English instead of showing blank, so no screen is ever half-empty, and the system's own per-app language picker offers the same thirteen. On a device set to a language that writes its own digits - Arabic, Bengali or Urdu - creating a resource works normally, and the icon picker grid fills in as expected.

Big Buttons Mode, in Player, enlarges the player's control buttons and stretches them to the full width, with the toolbar showing five to nine buttons depending on how much room there is - built for a car head unit or anywhere you need larger targets. Compact elements, in General, goes the other way: it shrinks list rows and player controls to fit more on screen at once, and needs a restart to take effect.

Disable animations, in General, stops screen transitions, group expanding and collapsing, settings-tab effects and image crossfades, plus the branded wave-and-particle backdrop behind the desktop when the app is used as a launcher and the same backdrop under every watch screen. Motion that carries meaning is kept on purpose: the audio visualizer under a playing track keeps moving, and a progress spinner keeps spinning, because a frozen one reads as a hang rather than as something being saved. With the switch on, the brand backdrop shows a still frame instead of going black after a rotation.

On Android 13 and newer, turning on the system's own Themed icons option - outside FastMediaSorter, in the device's own wallpaper and style settings - recolors the app icon to match your wallpaper the same way the built-in system apps do; below Android 13 the icon stays as it is. Everywhere an icon needs a color instead of just a shape - app shortcuts, the quick-access panel's program, resource and OS tiles - it sits on a flat circle of its own hue, the program's accent or the source's color, instead of a bare glyph on a plain white disc, so the same glyph reads consistently across every surface it appears on.

Unit system, in General, lives in the main app settings and applies everywhere, in every edition, and syncs to a paired watch. It decides more than temperature: the metric system gives a 24-hour clock, year-month-day dates, kilometres per hour, metres and kilometres, while the US system gives a 12-hour clock with AM/PM, month-day-year dates, miles per hour, feet and miles - on every surface of the phone and the watch, desktop gadgets and home-screen widgets included, overriding the device's own clock-format switch.

The collapsible panels on the main window - the programs panel, the streams panel, the resource-type filter - each carry their own accent background, shown both expanded and collapsed, with a recognizable icon on the collapsed chip. It is the same color logic behind the decorated icons in the previous step, just applied to a whole panel instead of one glyph.

Every screen on the watch keeps content inside the visible glass of a round Wear OS display, shows the clock, and puts the scroll indicator beside the content instead of over it - the inset comes from the shape and size the watch itself reports, so it is correct on any model rather than tuned to one. In two-column settings cells at large font sizes, toggle captions wrap only at word boundaries.
