Change the integrated music widget? ( lemmy.zip )

Hey guys, I am somewhat new to android (went straight to grapheneos) and am a bit annoyed with this widget.

It looks good, but the skip buttons are tiny and my gorilla fingers have trouble hitting them reliably. Is there a way to change to a different layout with bigger buttons or even gesture support?

I am aware that most music apps come with a widget for the home screen but I specifically need the one shown on the lock screen and pulldown menu to change.

Thanks in advance!

This isn't really a highly direct solution, but you could try increasing the screen zoom of the whole device by a notch or two. Somewhere in Settings > Display > Font Size/Screen Zoom or something like that may size up the UI enough that it's comfortable for you. I think you can mix and match font sizes and screen zooms, so you can keep text from getting too big but size up the UI buttons. This will naturally affect all android UI, not just the music widget, but maybe that's okay in your situation?

They said, it's GrapheneOS.

That was not OP and Graphene is not a skin.

it is /e/OS first of all but this can be achieved with iconify

Be careful when using iconify. I hot stuck in a boot loop for changing qs tile look. Although it was an easy fix. i just had to remove the directory in which the changes where saved

Ok how do you do that?

I don't have a solution for you but yep this is the new and "improved" widget. Nothing wrong with your phone :(.

GregorGizeh OP ,

And it can't be changed? Wow that's unfortunate

Speaking of which, I have been fiddling around with the widget and now it is gone completely... Any idea how to get at least this one back?

I think it counts as a notification. Under settings, notifications, whatever app you're listening to, see if youcan turn them back on.

GregorGizeh OP ,

Thanks, found it. At least I have this one back
