Are there any plans to update the user interface in the near future? I’ve been using Plex for a long time, and I’d really appreciate having more customization options, such as different color themes instead of just black, as well as a more modern overall look and feel.

Are you asking with a specific app in mind?

Well, I use Android TV, it can be an external application if it can be customized with it. I have a lot of applications that are already because of Plex that I really like… (Overseer, Agregarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Tautulli,…) It’s just that the look has changed minimally in, say, 3-4 years. And yes, I have a Plex pass.

> Navigation Updates Since we launched the new Plex experience to preview users last year, we have received consistent feedback from the start regarding the navigation. Our fall update was the first step in making improvements to address those concerns, but they weren’t enough. We greatly appreciate that many of you, all across our community, have weighed in and kept providing feedback. We’ve been listening and today the release has some changes that are both new and familiar. What’s New Today’…

HI  
Could anybody tell me how i change the option what tab i open in on Movies and TV?  
I am taken into Recommended instead of my old setting Browse, in the old version you could pick but now it seems to have been removed or hidden.  
I have looked all over but a cannot find its really annoying all this clicking 6 times to do 1 option.  
As mentioned looks great but the friction added is poor IMHO. I like change for the better not added friction and hidden settings .  
Sorry but finding it so frustrating to navigate. Out of interest is it possible to roll back on Nvidia Shield ?

With the old version, you had an option to „remember“ the previously selected tab.  
In the current preview, you can set an app-wide preference which tab to show as default: see `Settings` \> `Experience` \> `Default Library View`
