Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I installed transistor-app-release-4.0.18.apk on a Fire TV Stick and it works great. However I cannot see when the Add New Station, bottom station info, and and play icons are selected. Also, Fire TV uses a generic icon for Transistor under Your Apps & Channels. I also noticed that the station options (ellipses) menu is not highlighted.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to see when the Add New Station, bottom station info, and play icons are selected. Get android TV and Fire TV to use the Transistor icon for Transistor under Apps & Channels. Highlight the station options (ellipses) menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried Transistor in light and dark modes and the results were the same.

Additional context I love this app on my phone, and now on my TV.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I noticed that the UI update I am working on covers the keyboard selection already pretty good.

PS. Transistor on a Fire TV Stick? Really? :smiley:

I will install that update as soon as it is available. I just bought the fire tv and installed the tune in app, which no longer has a log in option, and the interface was worse than previous versions. I used tune in to stream local radio stations, so I wanted to find an alternative. Kodi with the radio add-on works okay, but I wanted something just for radio streams. I tried transistor and it works. I can navigate just fine using the fire tv remote, even if some selections are not highlighted. Here's my hardware and software: Fire TV Stick 4K Max Fire OS 7.2.5.5 Fire TV Home Version 6341067.1 Thanks for making such a great app!

I just installed Modern Love and it works great. It is a lost easier to navigate on a TV. A note for anyone else who wants to use Transistor on a Fire TV - the default Fire TV screen saver will stop playback. I launch Transistor in Kodi, press the return button to return to Kodi, and let Transistor play. The Kodi screen saver does not stop Transistor playback.
