Thanks, Hiccup :) Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Hopefully I can get BackgroundAlbumCover (the blurry album-coloured background) to layer underneath a transparent version of vinylbg.png so the surrounding colours are more dynamic, but at the mo, BackgroundAlbumCover seems to want to sit on top of the sleeve's layer. I tried setting vinylbg.png as an icon but no dice..

There is a value in 'Keep It Simple, Stupid"
But I can also understand the urge to use anything that may be available.

choices…

Hello, this looks great but the text is not centred for me. Installed the included fonts. Here's an imgur link.

Is there some MB setting I'm unaware of?

Hi rhubarbrhubarb, it looks like you're running the TM in the Now Playing window's embedded mode, make sure you extract the files to TheatreMode.List (not TheatreMode.Embedded) and run it from View > Theatre Mode > Vinyl Sleeve

Hello from the far future (sorry), make sure you enable View > Theater Mode > Theater Panel Dock > Fullscreen

Thank you for this! I was having the same issue

Also would it be possible to have the orange center of  the vinyl change in color depending on the colors of the album cover?

Depends, but most probably not. Off the top of my head:
- Is the vinyl background image a solid orange itself?
- If so, I'd then experiment with making that region transparent. Then overlaying the image on top of the BackgroundAlbumCover element.

Edit: but if memory serves well, the above-mentioned element has display priority over all other elements, meaning you cannot overlay anything on top of it.
