Set Frame Size → Use 1920x1080 px (Full HD) or 1280x720 px (HD) to match TV resolutions.
Follow TV UI Guidelines → Use Google’s Android TV Design Guidelines for navigation, focus states, and accessibility.
Remote-Friendly Navigation → Design with D-Pad navigation in mind (Up, Down, Left, Right, OK). Avoid touch-based gestures.
Focus States → Highlight selected elements with color changes, scaling, or shadows to improve visibility.
Simple Layout → Use large cards & text for better readability from a distance.
Dark Mode UI → TVs look better with dark themes—helps with eye strain and blends with Magis TV APK aesthetics.
Grid-Based Content Browsing → Design rows of thumbnails for categories like Live TV, Movies, and Series.
Test with Prototypes → Use Figma’s interactive components to simulate remote control navigation.
✔️ Design a Netflix-like home screen with featured banners. ✔️ Use category-based horizontal scrolling for Live TV, Sports, Movies. ✔️ Add a search & filter option for a smooth user experience. ✔️ Create a settings page for account management and streaming quality controls.
Set 1920x1080px or 1280x720px frame. Follow Android TV UI guidelines for D-Pad navigation, focus states, and accessibility. Use large text, dark mode, and grid-based layouts like Magistv pro. Design Netflix-like home screen, category scrolling, search, and settings. Test with Figma prototypes.
In addition to the points already mentioned, you might also focus on optimizing typography (large, readable fonts from a distance) and keeping enough spacing between elements to avoid a cluttered look on TV screens. If possible, test your prototypes with a remote or emulator to validate the actual navigation experience, since Figma alone may not capture the feel of D-Pad interactions.
This plan is awesome! Your emphasis on Focus States and the 10-foot UI experience is key to designing any TV streaming app, from Magis TV to Youcine to Netflix. These principles are absolutely universal! Thank you for providing such a clear roadmap – it helps me a lot!
Set the frame to 1920x1080px or 1280x720px and follow Android TV UI guidelines for D-Pad navigation, focus indicators, and accessibility. Use large text, dark mode, and grid-based layouts similar to MagisTV Pro. Design a Netflix-style home screen with category scrolling, search, and settings, and test everything using Figma prototypes.
