Is this intended? The seek bar and buffering icon are red for every single service.

@Movisivi No, this is a test apk. It's not a mainstream release. It will NOT install over your main app rather as a separate app.

It's released to make sure that users don't encounter bugs. A stable apk will be released later once the bugs (if bugs do exist) are fixed.

The seek bar and buffering icon are red for every single service.

The color depends on the currently chosen service, not on the video currently being played. Then again, maybe you actually had SoundCloud selected. Let me check.

Btw, when you send screenshots, could you please make them properly sized? Use <img src="INSERT_LINK_HERE" height="300px"/>. Hint: you can add this as a saved github reply so that you don't have to learn it by heart. I've edited your comment

[Stypox]

@SameenAhnaf does #6847 solve it?

[skyGtm]

The colors are not changed according to selected service for these sections :

1. Downloads
2. Settings
3. About

Is this intended behaviour?

[SameenAhnaf]

@skyGtm Technically, these three sections behave the same for all services at least for now. So, I guess, changing these sections' colours might be unnecessary or even misleading as the differenciation is of no use.

[Stypox]

@flopezre could you provide more info? Android version, the video you were downloading, resolution, audio/video, SAF or non-SAF, ...

Thumbnail is blurry, but when you enter the video, it is of good quality
