Optimizing NowPlaying screen

wutschel opened this issue · comments

As discussed in the forum for future versions an update of the NowPlaying screen is desired.

  • Move all labels below the thumb
  • Emphasize the current playing item (title, episode) with a different font type and size
  • Investigate if the thumb can be moved further up and have a fixed height.
    • This would allow to move the repeat/shuffle buttons into this area.
    • Might be problematic for small screen devices like iPods.
    • Will result in vertical oriented thumbs (like movie posters) reducing in size.
  • Are all control buttons needed or can this be reduced (next, rewind, play/pause, stop, forward, next)? Most current players only have the progress slider, rewind, play/pause, forward.
  • For TV Shows revisit the formatting of the lowest label (current: "The Crown - 1x1", options: "The Crown" or "The Crown - S1E1").
  • Remove repeat/shuffle from overlay
  • Possibly remove the hidden function to toggle clearart and cleearlogo in the overlay
  • Dismiss the overlay with any click, not hitting specific areas.

First impressions with thumb moved up and updated label positions and fonts.
