About Afterglow
The Now Playing card takes the album art's colour, and the sound bars in the island take a lighter version of it, so whatever is playing colours both of the places Folio shows it.
Folio reads the strongest colour out of the artwork and mixes it into the card's glass, fading from one track's colour to the next rather than snapping. Artwork with no real colour in it - a grey cover, a black-and-white photograph - leaves the card and the bars as they are.
Like every tweak it has its own page in Settings › Tweaks, with a switch for the cover screen and a switch for the inner one, so it can be on where it helps and off where it doesn't.
Inspired by ColorFlow by David Goldman. Re-created from scratch for Folio; no tweak code is included.
What it can reach
A Market package gets no Android permissions. It configures things Folio already does, and its page in the app lists exactly what it changes. Folio never runs code from a source, and every change has Undo beside it.How packages work.
