🚀 ZPlayer Release Notes

✨ New Features & Enhancements

• System Theme & Green Accent Default: The app now defaults to the Adaptive (System) theme out-of-the-box, paired with a vibrant Material Green seed/accent color on first launch.
• Modern Scanning Empty State: Replaced static loading indicators with a smooth, dynamic "Scanning Storage..." spinning animation for an improved user experience.
• Expanded Customization: Added drag-and-drop Bottom Navigation Tab reordering, a "Play in Call" toggle, and finer 0.25x increments for Long-Press Playback Speeds.
