## Description This updates the navigation drawer with better behavior and UI. It is also a bit more optimized and is slightly faster. - When open, content is pushed to the right instead of being covered - When open, it uses the same background colors from the dynamic background - The icons no longer shift as the drawer opens & closes - The open drawer is not as wide - Focus highlight on items is less circular, now matching the other menus in the app - The animation is a bit faster too Dev notes: - This PR copies & modifies `tv-material` code, so there's a customized `ModalNavigationDrawer` implementation now - There are fewer `AnimatedVisibility` composables which improves performance - Icons are exactly sized - Content pages generally shouldn't add start/end padding anymore, the padding is now added by the nav drawer (b4f1b111edcd7e7ec05edc1100402b2851721fcd) and is consistent across every page ### Related issues Closes #699 Closes #384 ### Testing Tested on the emulator, nvidia shield, & google sabrina ## Screenshots   ## AI or LLM usage None |

Wholphin - an OSS Android TV client for Jellyfin
"Never half-phin two jellies. Always wholphin one jelly."
Wholphin is an open-source Android TV client for Jellyfin. It aims to provide a different app UI that's inspired by Plex for users interested in migrating to Jellyfin.
This is not a fork of the official client. Wholphin's user interface and controls have been written completely from scratch. Wholphin supports playing media using either ExoPlayer or MPV.
