Description Blackketter Dean 2007-09-05 21:45:27 UTC

The now playing screensaver has artwork that's too small.  I suggest making it bigger and push the progress bar down a bit and place the numbers indicating progress and remaining time at the ends of the bar, rather than underneath.

I think this is the same size the Noah used in his template artwork. Can you get him to update that first.

Comment 2 Richard Titmuss 2007-10-05 13:46:13 UTC

Ben is looking at this.

Can you attach an image of the screen size you are referring to for reference?  We have gone through several iterations since 9/5/07...

Comment 4 Blackketter Dean 2007-10-30 17:32:43 UTC

Noah, you had two versions of the now playing screen, one without the status bar (to be used as the screensaver) and one with the status bar (to be used while navigating).  Can you attach those?

r1290 creates two styles for NowPlaying, one for screensaver mode, one for browse mode

IMO, we still need bigger artwork. It should be as large as we can muster, and squeeze other UI things to accomodate. I think we have too much buffer around the track/artist/album text.

opinions aside, this checkin conforms to what's attached to this bug for reference.
