### 3/5 — Highlight colour

*2024-03-26*

Could you please have some better highlight colours for the text. For example pastel colours such as a pale/light orange with black text. This would match for example my Irlen lens/overlay for dyslexia. The current options are just bright colours which actually are really harsh on my eyes and I cannot use it. 

So I feel there could be more customisation for adjusting screen colour, highlight colour and text colour to a more sensitive colour screen. The colour options available are really old-fashioned. 

However I like the player overall, better than some of the other rival apps in Sweden. But it just needs to be more customisable in terms of more modern and user-friendly colours.

### 5/5 — Great app

Amazing app
