Jandalf Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hello there! Is it possible to create skins for Poweramp on Android Auto? I'd like to customize it a little bit, maybe even add some functionality... I'd like to have the album art a little bit bigger I'd like to replace the timer with the album name if possible, I'd like to add the star rating Is this post on how to create skins still valid? https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/3578-building-skins-quick-start-guide/ If these things are not skin-able, could they be added as options?

maxmp Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 If you mean the UI rendered by Android Auto app - it’s fixed and there is little to no control over it. As for Poweramp UI itself, rendered for example on Android car headunits, the car focused skin or skin options is a good idea and some steps in that direction are planned for Poweramp builtin skins as well (such as option to put album art to the right or center).

flyingdutchman Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I have made changes to my $yaps$ skin for a user who has an atoto unit. Perhaps this works for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandalf Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Thank you both for your replies! @maxmp I don't really understand what you are saying... I have a fairly new Volkswagen with a built-in head unit which features Android Auto. I can connect my cell phone (Pixel 2) via USB cable and the head unit shows Google Maps, Waze, Poweramp, Spotify and a bunch of other apps. I know there are head units which run Android natively, This is not what I'm talking about. So if I understand you right, the UI using Android Auto (shown on the head unit but needs a phone connected) cannot be customized? @flyingdutchman If I got this right your skin will also not change the UI on the head unit, right?

AA display and control on OEM car headunits is a function of Android. This is not able to be changed by any app, only the content itself that is fed and maintained by Poweramp.
