One of the most notable features that Yarock 1.0 offers in this milestone release is a completely new, rebranded interface, new icon theme and application icon.

The new interface is compact with two vertical widgets aligned side by side, the left one for context view, where you will be able to view album and artist info or open the settings widget, and the right one for the playlists:
