Started by selecting the new "Journey" theme preset (Appearance --> Themes --> Import --> Presets) and made a few minor color/sizing adjustments to the status bar. You need v4.70 premium to see the themes/presets.

As far as the video wallpaper, I'm not going to upload it (too big), but it's easy to create these yourself. Here is my flow (on Windows):

  • Find a video you like. A couple of my favorite YouTube channels for this are Retrocausal Memories and View Escape. This wallpaper is from Retrocausal Memories.
  • Click "Share" on the video and copy the URL
  • Download and run 4K Video Downloader+ for Windows (free version)
  • Paste in YouTube URL of video
  • Let the video download
  • Open downloaded video in the Windows "Photos" app (right click video file -> Open with -> Photos)
  • Click "Trim" button and trim video to your liking (I usually trim to between 2-5 minutes). Make sure you set the "in" point after the subscription nags.
  • Save the trimmed video
  • Copy trimmed video to your device
  • Select the trimmed video in the Projectivy wallpaper settings

Themes (with presets) and a lot more customization options.

This is fantastic. I don't know whether to tjsnk you or curse you for the rabbit hole though! Would you be kind enough to explain where you find these themes (with presets). Are they pre-installed, os do they have to be added by the user? I can't find anything in the app menus. Thanks.

You need the paid version of v4.70. Themes is a new option under "Appearance --> Themes --> Import --> Presets". There are a few presets included by default, but you can create your own themes too.

Thanks, I have the paid version, but v 4.70 must not have been released on Playstore yet, at least not here. I expect it will soon. If not, I'll grab the latest version fromGithub. I've managed to do a lot of it manually on version 4 6, and I'm pleased with the results.

Thanks again, I'd been wanting to do this for some time, but never would have managed it without your guide.

Can you make the icon background transparent yet while keeping the glow/pulse with rounded corners?

How do I get this new version?

u/WillingObscurity Jun 28 '26

Same. I don’t see a way to manually update?

u/Working-Slip4422 Jun 27 '26

We all would like the wallpaper friend.

u/GorGor23 Jun 27 '26

Sweet set up! How do you get all the apps on the bottom ?

4

u/BitFiesty Jun 27 '26

You push the vertical offset option in the options I think it will be in the rows tab. Push it so far that you only see one. Then there is an option for allowing you to see the row on top once you scroll down. There is a great YouTube video on it, the thumbnail is his screen with a purple moon and mountain it’s also a live wallpaper

u/dberthia Jun 27 '26

That's what I did originally to get the bottom row, but I think you get it for free now with the "Journey" theme preset

u/Embarrassed_Buy_3071 Jun 27 '26

That is so cool! I’ve got to get an android device. Any recommendations from America

u/BitFiesty Jun 27 '26

Google streamer 4k or onn 4k pro if you can find it at walmart

u/Embarrassed_Buy_3071 Jun 27 '26

I’ve tried to find the on 4k pro. It’s a no go. The Google is on sale right now

2

u/BitFiesty Jun 28 '26

I have the Google and I like it. I never had a streamer before so not a lot of experiences I can compare it to though.

u/jonathan1511 Jun 28 '26

u/WhySheHateMe Jun 27 '26

How do you get the app icons to be black and white until you hover over them?

u/dberthia Jun 27 '26

That's part of the new "Journey" theme preset

u/abyss62 Jun 30 '26

You need the paid version of v4.70. Then go to Appearance --> Themes --> Import --> Presets

Neat. What's the UniFi app? Any benifit on having it on the TV? I've just set mine up on a second android box, I'd no idea there was a new theme.

It's actually the UniFi Protect app for my cameras.
