Back button in the bottom navigation bar
Asked by markus on September 28, 2026 - 2 replies
Hi,
I’m currently setting up Digital Center 6 as a touchscreen jukebox using Kiosk Mode and Credit Mode.
One thing I’ve noticed during testing is that the Back button is always located in the top-left corner of the screen.
For people who are not familiar with Digital Center, this is sometimes confusing. All the main navigation buttons are located in the bottom navigation bar, so users naturally look there for navigation.
Would it be possible to add an option to also show a Back button in the bottom navigation bar?
For example:
Back | Albums | Artists | Tracks | Popular | Genres | Years | Search | Playlist
The existing Back button in the top-left corner could remain, so this would only be an additional button.
I think this would be especially useful for touchscreen jukeboxes and public kiosk installations, where the interface should be as intuitive as possible for first-time users.
It would also be great if this could simply be enabled/disabled in the Kiosk or Touch settings.
Thanks!

Hi @markus
Thank you for the detailed suggestion. We understand the point: on a touchscreen jukebox, guests look at the bottom bar for navigation, so a Back button there would feel natural.
Today the Back button is only shown in the top-left corner, and there is no setting to add one to the bottom bar. We have passed your idea on to our development team, together with your wish to turn it on and off in the settings.
One thing that may help in the meantime: in Administration → Credit Mode you can turn on "Hide back button for guests while a paid playlist locks the kiosk". Guests then stay in the jukebox and can't get lost with the Back button. To get back in yourself, press and hold the top-left corner of the screen for a few seconds.

Hi Rick,
thank you very much for the quick reply and also for the helpful tip about hiding the Back button in Credit Mode. I wasn’t aware of the press-and-hold option in the top-left corner - that’s really useful for my jukebox setup.
And thank you for passing my suggestion on to the development team. I would really love to see this feature added in a future version. Having an optional Back button in the bottom navigation bar would make the interface much more intuitive for guests using the jukebox for the first time.
Just to clarify what I mean by the Back button: I’m also referring to navigating within the Music Center itself. For example, when a user opens an album and sees the list of tracks, there should be an intuitive way to go back to the normal album/browsing screen. At the moment, this requires using the Back arrow in the top-left corner.
This is exactly where I’ve noticed that my two test users don’t know how to get back.
Fingers crossed! 😊
Thanks again for your help and for continuing to improve Digital Center!
Best regards,
Markus
