Change bottom menu icons (Home, Search etc)

[kingmustard 14]

On the Android app, along the bottom, is Home, Search, Downloads etc.

Can these be customised?

Hi. Any update on this? Brand new to emby, so if there is a way to change the icons, I'd love to know how. Thanks.

This has gotten worse with a recent update - the new bottom nav both takes up more space and has one less button (5 -> 4). I think these buttons need to be configurable, or they need to not show libraries at all. For example, right now it's Home,Search,Downloads,RandomLibrary. It could be Home,Search,Downloads,Favorites and then the Home/Favorite selector at the top of the screen goes away and space is saved without making the buttons configurable. I think it's the libraries being in bottom nav that makes this lack of configuration a problem and it's confusing for my users. I'd rather my users just open the full library list e.g. in the sidebar.

Hi, what makes you think it takes up more space?
