Description VolkerOth 2009-10-31 11:07:43 UTC

Apart from the bugs that currently plague the Radio, my biggest issue with it is that I can barely read anything on the display at night without my glasses apart from the clock screen saver. The "now playing" display has too small title/album/artist info, a completely unreadable time and wastes precious space of the (a little too) small display.

I created some mockups to show what I would imagine to look the "now playing" display like. Excuse the primitive design, but I think they show the idea.

Also font size in the menus etc. should be selectable to some degree (e.g. small, normal, large).

This would make the start of a good Community Applet.  Maybe you could ask someone on our forums to create a new applet with these enhancements in them.
