Disclosure: this was vibe-coded, but I have reviewed and tested the code. The code also has a unit test suite.

Just updated the plugin with persistence options. Theater mode now can be set to always be on when opening a scene, always be off when opening a scene, or (the default) to remember if you last turned theater mode on or off and persist that for the next scene.

Thank you for the plugin. I have a small feature request. Make it even more Theater Mode by doing this:

  • Remove the padding-top on the body tag
  • Remove the padding-top on .main class
  • Remove the padding-right on .scene-player-container class
  • Do a display: none on the .top-nav class

This should do the trick:

body.stash-theater-mode { 
padding: 0 !important;
}

body.stash-theater-mode .top-nav { 
display: none;
}

body.stash-theater-mode .main { 
padding-top: 0 !important;
}

body.stash-theater-mode .scene-player-container { 
padding: 0 !important;
}

I’ve done some basic testing. It should be thoroughly tested to check for any regressions. The only downside is that you have to close Theater Mode to navigate elsewhere. But personally, I don’t find that too bad.
