Metrolist provides extensive appearance controls across six areas: theme, mini player, player, navigation, library, and lyrics. All settings are found under Settings → Appearance.

​
Theme

When enabled, the app launcher icon adapts to match your wallpaper color on supported Android versions. Changing this setting requires a restart to apply. A prompt will appear offering to restart immediately.Default: enabled
Allows Metrolist to render at your display’s maximum refresh rate (90 Hz or 120 Hz, depending on your device). Disable this to reduce battery usage on high-refresh-rate panels.Default: enabled
When enabled and no custom color is selected, Metrolist extracts accent colors from your current wallpaper using Material You (requires Android 12 or later). This option is hidden automatically when a custom color palette is selected — selecting any palette other than Dynamic disables dynamic theme.Default: enabled
Opens the Themes and colors screen, where you can choose from 19 built-in color palettes or use the Dynamic (wallpaper-derived) color option.See Themes and colors for the full palette list and dark mode options.
