app still works fine for me...loads up fine.
but says code not found when i try to do the continue button to load the file
if only they would officially integrate this or a similar dark theme into their product....then it would be easy to update with the built in updater in the settings.

Any chance you could attempt this color theme change to the Apple TV version?
or is the TVos app radically different design?
Is it even possible to "mod" a TVos app?
wait...u can't even side load anything...
that means you would have to submit it as a separate app in the Apple TV app store..
yea...guessing that not gonna happen.

I'm so iOS stupid... Some light research, the app file is an .ipa which gets unzipped into assets like an .apk would and can be sideloaded a few different ways. Just Google 'sideload ipa' .... I don't even know how to get ahold of the original .ipa... I'm probably a lot dumber now than I used to be and won't be able to figure it out... But maybe... It will have to be a project for my next days off. To even try.
I think it's just a few of us that use this...
I think tvOS is different than iOS.
The Apple TV 4K has no inputs whatsoever.
So ur locked into whatever is available via the App Store.
EDIT: I am just finding myself using the Apple TV more for streaming apps, and only using the Shield for when i want to watch local files/movies.
The native option of Reduce Loud Sounds (ie. Volume Leveling) feature of the Apple TV is very nice and useful for late night tv watching, so I have been using the Apple TV for Channels lately, and miss the nice dark Carbon theme.

So it seems I would need to figure out how to get ahold of the original .ipa, unzip it, poke around and see if I can even figure it out, put it back together, then jump through all those hoops to sign and install it.

I would be learly of old articles....many software's and "tricks" for old versions of MacOS most likely will not work on modern MacOS Big Sur or higher.
So u may need to use a older Mac with Catalina or older installed for such things to work.
Same issue with tvOS. The latest version, those "tricks" may not work anymore.
And the newest OS for both Apple Products is just around the corner as well.
Apple is always pushing updates that break such things and make random tricks, or hacks, or jailbreaking, more risky or not possible.
It sure would be a challenge it would seem.
This here is why I don't use any Apple, Samsung, or Amazon products.

Been a while since the last update. I think they've been adding new features to the beta since the last update. Thanks!
