Svartifoss 2.1

Phone

  • New Watch tab, in the slot the Guide used to occupy: a dedicated visual
    customization screen for the watch's now-playing screen, with a live
    miniature preview     — face (Classic/Expressive), screen theme, album
    background (style/blur/dim), colors (dynamic accent, artist/progress color
    sources), and mini-button appearance/offset — previewed exactly as it will
    render on the watch and synced there on every change. While music plays on
    the phone, the miniature mirrors the actual current track (real album
    art, title, artist, the accent extracted from that art, and live playback —
    the progress ring and track time advance in real time). These appearance
    settings moved out of Settings, which now keeps only behavior options.
  • Guide moved to the toolbar: the usage guide no longer takes up a
    bottom-nav tab slot — it now opens from a help button in the toolbar,
    freeing that slot for the new Watch tab above.
  • The app is now fully navigable without a paired watch: every screen
    (Watch, Playing/Stopped controls, Actions, Settings) is reachable even with
    nothing connected — only the physical-buttons section of the button-config
    screens needs a live watch, and it already hides itself gracefully when
    there's no data. A dismissable banner in Settings clarifies that watch
    settings still save and sync even without a paired watch.
  • Portuguese (Brazil) translation completed for the phone app. The watch
    app and shared module were already fully translated; the phone app's ~320
    strings and option lists (themes, screen styles, etc.) are now translated
    too, so the whole app is consistent in pt-BR.
  • Support the project: a link to Buy Me a Coffee
    in the app's navigation drawer (swipe in from the left edge), for anyone
    who wants to help out. The app stays fully free either way — nothing is
    gated behind it.
  • The Overlays & queue style pickers (volume, quick panel, queue screen)
    moved up to right after Screen face on the Watch tab, closer to where
    they belong given how much they change the look.
  • Fixed the "No watch connected" banner in Settings flashing on and back off
    immediately when a watch actually is connected.
  • Fixed the Watch tab's live preview briefly showing the default accent
    color before switching to the real album-art color when a track loads.

Watch

  • New Expressive now-playing face: alongside the classic layout, a new
    face mirrors the Material 3 Expressive system media controls — a soft
    "cookie" play/pause button (morphs to a circle when paused) wrapped in a
    progress ring that follows its scalloped contour, large round prev/next
    buttons in the album accent's tonal colors, an accent-tinted/vignetted
    album backdrop, and a queue/volume/menu glass trio at the bottom whenever
    no mini buttons are configured. Switch faces from Settings → Screen face;
    every gesture, button, overlay, and the quick panel behaves identically on
    both, and ambient mode always falls back to the classic, burn-in-safe look.
  • Expressive face touch seek: a new setting picks how touch-seeking works
    on the Expressive face — drag the Central ring around the cookie button
    (with a live time readout), show the Edge ring (the classic bezel seek
    ring), or None (leave seeking to the rotary crown).
  • 13 new overlay & queue styles: the volume overlay, quick-actions panel,
    and queue screen each get an independent style picker (Settings →
    Screen face → Overlays & queue) — Glass, Minimal (AMOLED), Material, Tonal,
    Neon, Light, Gradient, Mono, Outline, Duotone, High Contrast, Terminal, and
    Frost.
  • Eliminated watch UI freezes on track change: album-art and custom-list icon
    decoding, the complication's cover re-encoding, and the media session's
    cover transfer were all blocking the watch's single main thread on every
    music-state push — they now run off it, and an unchanged cover is skipped
    instead of redecoded.
  • Fixed the watch's shuffle/repeat/like state rings getting stuck after a
    state update was wrongly deduplicated away, fixed a possible crash from a
    volume divide-by-zero, fixed the back key swallowing the configured
    back/dismiss action on watches that deliver it as a key event, fixed a
    config-backup import never actually reaching the watch, and fixed a few
    memory/listener leaks.
