Light, Dark or Auto: Choosing Your Rock Player Look

How an app looks affects how it feels. Rock Player offers three appearance modes - light, dark and auto - so the interface can suit your room, your device and the time of day.

This short guide explains each one and helps you choose.

The three modes

Dark

Dark appearance uses deep backgrounds with light text. It is the classic choice for watching video because it keeps the interface calm and lets pictures stand out.

Great for:

• Evening viewing in a dim living room.
• Large TVs, where a bright interface can feel glaring.
• Bedrooms, where you want minimal light between programmes.

Light

Light appearance uses bright backgrounds with dark text. It feels fresh and clear, and can be easier to read in a sunny room.

Great for:

• Daytime viewing in bright rooms.
• Tablets on a kitchen counter.
• Anyone who simply prefers a lighter look.

Auto

Auto appearance follows your device's own setting. If your phone or TV switches between light and dark, Rock Player follows along.

Great for:

• Phones and tablets that switch to dark mode in the evening.
• Anyone who wants the app to "just do the right thing".

How to switch

1. Open Rock Player's settings.
2. Find the appearance option.
3. Choose Light, Dark or Auto.

The change applies straight away, so you can try each one and see which you prefer.

Choosing for each screen

Each device in your home can have a different setting. Some combinations that work well:

Device	Suggested mode
Living room TV	Dark
Bedroom Firestick	Dark
Phone	Auto
Kitchen tablet	Light or Auto

These are just suggestions. The right choice is whichever feels most comfortable to you.

Why dark often suits the big screen

Televisions are large and bright. When you move between programmes, a dark interface keeps the overall light level steady, so your eyes are not jolted by a bright menu between dark scenes. Rock Player's big-screen interface was designed with this in mind.

Why auto suits phones

Phones move between environments all day - bright offices, sunny streets, dark bedrooms. Many phones already switch between light and dark automatically. Setting Rock Player to auto keeps it in step with the rest of your phone.

Small comforts that add up

Appearance is one part of a comfortable setup. A few others:

• Adjust your TV's own picture settings. Many TVs have modes designed for dim rooms.
• Reduce glare. Position your screen away from direct window light.
• Use profiles. Each person can keep their own favourites and history in their own profile.

Frequently asked questions

Does appearance change the picture of what I am watching? No. Appearance changes the interface around your content - menus, lists, guides and details pages. The programmes themselves are shown as they are.

Can different devices use different modes? Yes. Each device has its own setting, so your living room TV can stay dark while your kitchen tablet uses light.

What happens with auto if my device has no dark mode? Auto follows whatever your device reports. If your device does not switch between light and dark, simply choose the mode you prefer directly.

Which mode should I start with? If you are not sure, try auto on phones and tablets and dark on the big screen. Live with each for a few evenings and adjust if something feels off.

A note on comfort in the evening

Late-night viewing is when appearance matters most. A bright white menu after a dark scene can feel harsh, especially in a bedroom. If you often watch late, dark appearance on bedroom screens is a small change you will notice every night.

The Rock look

Whichever mode you choose, Rock Player keeps its calm, premium character - deep pine and sage tones, clear typography and a layout designed for both the sofa and the hand. The goal is an interface that steps back and lets what you are watching take centre stage.
