Bugzilla – Bug 13823
Baby Now Playing could be more like Controller

I'd like to suggest the following improvements could be made to Baby's NP, assuming Controller's NP is to-spec: 1. Display elapsed/remaining time on right/left of progress bar. 2. Enlarge cover art to extend to bottom of screen, with icon bar transparently overlaid. With these changes it would be consistent with how the Controller looks. Nice to have: hide the icon bar on both Baby/Controller and show it only briefly for status changes.
#1 Yeah #2 ugh Nice to have: Only if the clock stays on-screen.
I mentioned #2 only because that's what Controller does now. And because I am always in favor of larger cover art.

Display elapsed/remaining time on right/left of progress bar. I'm fine with the intent of this. Assigning to Noah b/c I can't remember why we left it out. > 2.

What we ARE working on is a true fullscreen album art display for 8.0 (which will require some animation due to aspect ratio issues). Check out the new-ish last.fm radio player for examples of how to animate relevant artwork.
