This way, users can organize their media in a way that best suits their viewing habits and preferences. You can already do that as the server admin (incl. option to assign hubs to friends).

He has 3 options: for his Home screen, for everyone else’s Home screen, and for everyone’s Library page. From years of using Plex, I’ve discovered that I cannot both efficiently manage the server as an admin while also using it as a user for watching via the same account. As an admin, I have to see every library I have access to, to promptly fix matches and see if there’s something wrong with the episode mappi… # > [@aer415](#): > > 1. **Dynamic Widgets:** > > - Introduce widgets that can display information such as recently added media, upcoming releases, or personalized recommendations based on viewing history. You should already be able to manage recommendations for yourself and your users (see the link above). You can create/publish collections for that purpose (e.g. have a hub with movies you recommend to watch)… same as the above, it’s currently only possible to publish to “all your users” – but there’s also a suggestion addressing this.

But if you’re just a Plex user - you can not use it. You can ask the admin (server owner). And he can only pin that collection for everyone on the server. It’s impossible for one user to have a Marvel collection pinned, while the other user sees a DC collection instead. You can forget about pinning your favorite director if h… In addition, there’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option for automated recommendations based on a user’s watch history. > [@Recommendation based on previously watched/rated](https://forums.plex.tv/t/recommendation-based-on-previously-watched-rated/279808): > > Request Add a recommendation section based on previously watched or rated content. This could be similar to how Netflix will suggest new content based on what you have watched. Plex currently does this, to a limited extent, by having the “Related Content” section when viewing a piece of media. Why it would be useful For users that have large libraries it is sometimes a struggle to find new content that you would enjoy.

You should already be able to select from a number of color-themes on the big-screen apps (e.g. Plex for Apple TV / Android TV, Plex HTPC). ![Appearance preferences in Plex HTPC](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/1/3/b/13b5a3daf624c0c89914b4fcb7cd8cafac60756b.jpeg) In addition there’s another existing suggestion discussing an option for custom themes. > [@Allow switching of Themes/Skins for Plex Media Player Desktop](https://forums.plex.tv/t/allow-switching-of-themes-skins-for-plex-media-player-desktop/230365): > > I would like to see Plex Media Player for desktop allow users to choose between current Plex Themes from different platforms like iOS, Apple TV, Android, Roku etc and also allow user created themes and UI’s. Plex Media Player would benefit from having a community of people who skin/theme to add diversity to Plex Media Player. The resources being used for OpenPHT could also be used to further user skins/themes for Plex Media Player once opened up (hopefully). What do you think?

You can already do that using the option to publish collections. For smart collections you can configure if they should be based on the admin’s or a user’s information – e.g. if you’re filtering by watch history or rating information. A simple option could be to have a smart playlist with the 10 highest rated movies of a user… this will be different for each user depending on what movies they rated highest. In addition there’s a suggestion discussing an option for a centralized “favorites” section where you can simply tag shows/movies as favorites and they’ll be listed for you. > [@My Favorites - Add a list of favorite TV Series and Movies](https://forums.plex.tv/t/my-favorites-add-a-list-of-favorite-tv-series-and-movies/213407): > > Forgive me if this has been requested somewhere else but I was unable to find it. Let me know if this is something that can be accomplished. I love Plex and have used it for years and no other product compares to ease of use. One feature that I have been hoping would get added for a while now is a favorites list.

Would you mind elaborating what you have in mind? e.g. what type of backgrounds are we talking about and what activity should influence it? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/more-personalization-on-homescreen/880661)._
