Colour theme Premium
Path: Settings → Appearance & theme
How
- Pick a theme from the swatches.
- Create custom theme builds your own from a main colour and an accent.
- Duplicate current is the easy way to start from a theme you nearly like.
Good to know
TiviGlass keeps a dark TV-friendly backdrop, with brighter panels and clear separation between the background, cards and raised controls. Changing the theme changes the shell and highlight hues without losing that contrast. The theme applies from the very first frame at startup, so there’s no flash of the default colours. Without Premium the app stays on its standard theme.

Layout, logos and the clock Free
Path: Settings → Appearance & theme
How
- Interface density switches between compact and comfortable spacing, for the whole app. To change the TV guide on its own — bigger text, or more channels on screen — use Guide text size and Guide row height under Settings → TV guide (how-to 14).
- Movie & show poster size chooses Small, Medium or Large covers for every library filter, including Favourites and Watchlist.
- Library navigation chooses the original horizontal pills or a Left sidebar for Live TV, Movies and Shows.
- Channel logos and Channel logo size control whether and how big logos appear.
- Overscan correction pulls the picture in if your TV crops the edges.
- Time format and Date & time locale set how times are written.
Good to know
Left sidebar is the default. It keeps each library’s Views, Groups and Tools together in the existing panel, including Favourites, Watchlist, History, Recently added and filters where available; the old pill rows are removed from the content area. The TiviGlass heading, account details, clock and divider remain in place. Pick an item to return to the content; press Back in the library panel for the main app menu. Choose Horizontal pills here if you prefer the original layout.

Use your own channel logos Free
Path: Settings → Appearance & theme
How
- Put PNG, JPG or WebP files in a folder, named after the channel — for example BBC One.png.
- Select that folder as the Local logo folder.
- Set Logo priority: playlist first, TV guide first, or local folder first.
- After adding files later, select Refresh local logos.
Good to know
Matching ignores case and punctuation, so “bbc one.png” works too. If a logo is missing or fails to load, TiviGlass falls through to the next source and finally to a coloured letter tile.

Rearrange the menu Premium
Path: Settings → Menu & sections
How
- Open Customise navigation menu.
- Move sections up and down, hide the ones you never use, and rename any of them.
- Change a section’s icon if you prefer a different shape.
Good to know
The menu layout travels with the profile, so switching viewers re-themes the sidebar in one step. Without Premium the sidebar uses the built-in order.
51
Remap remote buttons Premium
Path: Settings → Remote & buttons
How
- Button behaviour lists every remote button with what it currently does; select one to change it.
- Shortcut keys assigns spare, colour and number keys to actions like Screenshot, Last channel, Jump to now in the guide, or Open recordings.
- Back button chooses whether Back hides the controls first or exits immediately.
- Seeking keys sets which keys skip forward and back.
Good to know
Bindings are per context — live TV, movies and shows, browsing and the guide can each behave differently. Per-device binding profiles mean a cheap box with a four-button remote can be set up separately from your main TV. One action is worth knowing about even if you never remap anything else: Options for the focused item opens the same menu as holding OK, so a remote that can't hold reliably still reaches every channel action.
52
Sounds and the sleep timer Free
Path: Settings → Remote & buttons
How
- Turn the startup sound on or off.
- Turn Interface sounds on or off. This one switch covers the short beep that plays with on-screen messages and the click when you press OK in the player.
- Set a Sleep timer to stop playback and turn off after a chosen period.
- You can also set one without leaving what you are watching: More → Sleep timer on the player controls.
Good to know
If a beep accompanies on-screen messages and you would rather it did not, Interface sounds is the switch that stops it — no device setting is involved. The player click is different: it plays your device’s own sound, so your device’s Touch sounds setting has to be on as well. The sleep timer counts down on screen as it approaches, so it never cuts off a film without warning. Both places set the same timer, so one turns the other off.
