Bugzilla – Bug 13416
Track title text should have a MAX and MIN length based on the length of X of Y
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:30:31 UTC
For areas of the Now Playing screen where there is "X of Y" in the same line as the track title the track title cut-off should expand and contract based on a MAX and MIN character set of the "X of Y." The current behavior is based on the MAX character set only of "X of Y" in all cases. The result is that the track title is cut-off unnecessarily for small playlist sizes. If this is not possible we will need to rethink the implementation slightly.
Noah, odds are this is not going to be possible. The skinning code is not that sophisticated...let's talk on this later in the week.
My plan is to shrink the font size when the x/y gets more than 4 numeric chars on Baby width of x/y label: 50px font size for 99/99: 14pt font size for 99/100: 10pt 10pt with a 50px width will also accomodate 6 numbers e.g., 222/222 without scrolling. After it grows beyond that it will scroll, but I believe this is the best I can do within the current constraints. IMO it will work pretty well. I'll also work this up for controller to an acceptable solution. Width and font sizes may be slightly different for that screen.

Ben- Where did the decision to scroll the X of Y info stem from? My intuition says this might be too much of a good thing, however, I will wait to reserve judgment until seeing this behavior on device. My concern is the potential for 2 text strings to be scrolling on one line. This could be appeased through timing and not having both scrolling at the same time. For MIN playlists of less than 10 can we also add a zero for 00-09? This will help the padding to not appear as "large" when the track title is long and X of Y small. ex. - 09/10 Please note the recommended MIN font sizes are: FreeSans Bold - 10px FreeSans Med. - 12px
