In the Library, the Selected Tile is Hard to See

Channels Android TV Feature Requests
#1

I've only been using Channels for a couple of weeks, but one thing that I find could be improved upon is that it's hard to tell which tile is currently selected when browsing TV Shows, On Now, Up Next, etc.

While you are actively moving the focus around it's pretty easy to tell, but when I first bring it up I have a hard time telling which tile is selected. I am mainly trying to make the interface more wife-friendly. :wink:

Would it be possible to add an outline or glow to the currently selected tile?

Agreed and voted. :slightly_smiling_face:

Great idea, lots of apps offer that option, to add a white border around focused items. It helps a lot with vision issues.

AppleTV offers this as an option for the home screen, it's under tvOS Settings → Accessibility → Display → Focus Style → High Contrast. But even this doesn't extend to the Channels app. So it'd be nice to see this option available in the app too, on both platforms. Voted :+1:t3:

Every time I open channels, I have to push direction buttons to move the selected tile to see which one is selected. This is a great idea.
