Enable and refine full edge-to-edge rendering across the app in line with
Android 15 behavior (targetSdk >= 35). Ensures immersive layouts while
preserving correct system bar insets and visual consistency.

Changes:

  • Synchronized light/dark system bar appearance with LissenTheme
  • Removed hardcoded Modifier.systemBarsPadding() from Scaffolds to allow
    backgrounds to render edge-to-edge
  • Applied correct insets handling within LazyColumn content to prevent
    overlap with status and navigation bars (e.g., LibraryScreen)
  • Updated custom bottom components (MiniPlayer, NavigationBar) to use
    proper navigationBarsPadding() instead of fixed height constraints
  • Adjusted PullRefreshIndicator positioning to avoid overlap with
    translucent TopAppBars

All screens verified for correct inset handling and immersive scroll behavior.

Closes #356

Description

This PR fundamentally updates UI layout hierarchies, migrating away from system bar restricted frames and opting into proper edge-to-edge canvases explicitly recommended for targetSdk>=35. All screens will now naturally draw beyond the window overlays, and internal layout bindings ensure UI contents respect gesture navs and status bars.

Changes Made

  1. Theme Adjustments: LissenTheme now dynamically dictates isAppearanceLightNavigationBars preventing transparent navigation bar buttons blending with background colors depending on the internal theme mode versus the system theme framework switch. (Theme.kt).
  2. Global Scaffold Restructuring: Automatically consumed padding constraints like Modifier.systemBarsPadding() alongside fillMaxHeight modifications were stripped from all application Screens (LoginScreen, SettingsScreen, LibraryScreen, PlayerScreen, and Advanced Settings screens). Material 3 Scaffolds automatically route the underlying safe-drawing bounds to the innerPadding parameter, properly allowing edge-to-edge canvas backgrounds.
  3. Immersive Scroll Enhancements: Transformed LibraryScreen.kt's container setup to shift system bounds from the wrapper Box to LazyColumn's contentPadding. List items now seamlessly scroll behind the generic TopAppBar and system NavigationBar providing a continuous drawing layer. Handled clipping of the PullRefreshIndicator by manually applying an initial top offset matching inset dimensions.
  4. Bottom Overlays & Navigation Fixes:
    • Forced MiniPlayerComposable to extend its native footprint into the Android system gesture bar using navigationBarsPadding().
    • Removed rigid .height(64.dp) restrictions inside NavigationBarComposable and NavigationBarPlaceholderComposable's parent Surface. The underlying default M3 NavigationBar will correctly pad and grow as a container reflecting gesture window bounds natively instead of compressing icons.

How To Test

  1. Make sure you run an Android API 35 (Android 15) emulator with System Navigation set to Gesture navigation.
  2. Start up the app and verify the main Library screen list items scroll seamlessly behind the top bar and underneath the MiniPlayer (or completely underneath the bottom generic home indicator).
  3. Switch your settings within the app to Dark/Black and back to Light; verify the app's top notification bar (clock, wifi icons) and the bottom gesture bar handles adapt their coloring natively regardless of the main System dark framework flag.
  4. Verify screens like Settings and Player render inside their safe margins flawlessly, while the app background covers the whole device window.

Sorry, I had to revert this MR. (ef2dff9)

It introduced multiple UI regressions that are difficult to track and fix individually, which negatively affects overall quality.

The issues observed so far:

The progress bar in the books and podcasts lists started overflowing beyond the layout bounds.

Text color selection in the top bar is broken in dark theme.

Title resolution on the Library screen is no longer working correctly.

There may be additional issues, but these were sufficient to conclude that the MR needs a more comprehensive approach. The underlying logic should also be covered with tests to prevent similar regressions.

Please feel free to reopen the MR once the changes are addressed and ready for review.

Thanks for the quick feedback and for reverting.

Apologies for the regressions, I underestimated the side effects of the layout changes. I’ll reproduce the issues (overflow, dark theme text, Library title), fix them incrementally, and rework the edge-to-edge implementation more carefully.

Hi, I’ve opened a new PR (#361) that addresses the regressions you mentioned (progress overflow, dark theme text color, and Library title resolution).

The changes were applied incrementally and the build passes successfully.
