  Transform SoundCloud into a fullscreen listening experience.
  
  SoundCloud Minimal Player adds a stunning fullscreen overlay that wraps around whatever track you're playing. The artwork fills your screen, the background adapts to match the cover colors, and a soft aura glow pulses around the card.
  
  ✦ WHAT IT DOES
  • Fullscreen overlay triggered by clicking the artwork in SoundCloud's bottom bar
  • Adaptive accent color — extracted live from the cover art, applied across the entire UI
  • Radial aura glow behind the card that shifts with the music's color palette
  • Smooth continuous progress bar (60fps, reads directly from the audio element)
  • Playback controls: play/pause, previous, next, shuffle, repeat, like
  • Volume control — hover the card to reveal a clean volume slider
  • Long track name marquee — scrolls smoothly, pauses on hover
  • Artist name click — opens the artist page directly
  
  ✦ HOW TO USE
  1. Go to SoundCloud and play any track
  2. Click the album artwork in the bottom playback bar
  3. The fullscreen overlay opens instantly
  4. Hover the card to reveal playback controls and volume
  5. Press Esc or click outside the card to close
  
  ✦ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
  Space — play / pause
  Esc   — close the overlay
  
  ✦ PRIVACY
  The extension reads only what SoundCloud already shows you — the track title, artist name, and artwork. Nothing is collected, stored externally, or transmitted anywhere. See the full privacy policy for details.
  
  ✦ FREE TO USE
  All features are free. A Pro version with additional customization options (custom accent colors, keyboard shortcut editor, volume memory) is planned for the future.

  Click the cover art in SoundCloud's bottom bar. The whole page becomes a fullscreen aesthetic player — the artwork goes huge, the background glows the colour of the cover, and the controls fade away when you don't need them. Press Esc to go back.
  
  That's the whole onboarding. No accounts, no ads, no data collection. Works with free SoundCloud and SoundCloud Go+.
  
  ✦ The headline trick
  • The background of the page becomes the colour of the cover art — sampled live from whatever's playing, applied across the entire UI.
  • Artwork fills your screen, surrounded by a soft aura glow that pulses with the music's palette.
  
  ✦ Made for actually listening
  • Fullscreen now-playing screen — opens with one click on the bottom-bar artwork.
  • Hover-revealed controls: play, pause, next, previous, shuffle, repeat, like.
  • Volume slider on hover.
  • 60fps progress bar that reads directly from the audio element — no jitter.
  • Long track names scroll smoothly and pause when you hover them.
  • Click the artist name → opens the artist page directly.
  
  ✦ Built for any aesthetic
  Your room, your palette, your taste. Listening to neon-purple anime tracks on a purple LED setup? The screen matches. Pastel pink ambient on a cream desk? Same. The player adapts to whatever you're playing — and to whatever vibe you're in.
  
  ✦ Keyboard shortcuts
  Space — play / pause
  Esc   — close the overlay
  
  ✦ Why people use this
  • You leave SoundCloud open while you work and want it to look like a player, not a webpage.
  • You miss the fullscreen "Canvas" view from Spotify or the now-playing screen from Apple Music or Yandex Music.
  • You want to glance at the cover and the time remaining without hunting for the SoundCloud tab among 40 others.
  • You want SoundCloud to look as good as the music you're listening to.
  
  ✦ Privacy & permissions
  The extension only runs on soundcloud.com. It reads what SoundCloud already shows you — the track title, the artist name, the artwork URL — and uses that to render the overlay. Nothing is collected, sent to a server, or stored outside your browser. The full privacy policy is linked from this listing.
  
  ✦ Free, forever
  All features are free. No subscription, no upsells, no ads. A Pro tier with custom accent colours, a keyboard-shortcut editor, and volume memory is on the roadmap.
  
  Install. Play any track on SoundCloud. Click the cover art. That's it.
