Bugzilla – Bug 14877
Add flexibility to Now Playing artwork layout based on source data
Last modified: 2009-10-23 09:10:39 UTC
In 7.4.1 we added a "full bleed" artwork treatment for QVGAlandscapeSkin (SB Radio). This treatment does not work well for non-square artwork (e.g., BBC listen again landscape artwork), and it's also considered problematic with internet radio logos (primarily from Radio Time). Further, the higher resolution of the Fab4 NP screen is going to mean we will need to handle low res art a bit less generically. Currently we do not have a model that allows us to make different layout decisions based on either the size or aspect ratio of the source artwork, as the layout is done *before* any return data comes back from the server. To achieve this fix, we need to implement a new architecture that analyzes the art after it comes back from the network and decide how to lay it out at that time. I'd like this bug to start with Richard for comment.
