Cosmetic: Drop Shadow when displaying No Album Artwork Icon
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:21:59 UTC
When the Now Playing screen is displaying the No Album Artwork Icon there is a drop shadow behind for the regular album art. The problem is that the regular artwork has 90degree corners and the Icon has radii. Is this a bug or can there be two different sets of drop shadows? My guess is that we will have to eliminate the shadow all together... I will attach artwork of what the intended artwork should look like.

or include the drop shadow in the graphic.
I like the drop shadow and don't really want to remove it. Also the drop shadow does not always look correct with some album art, as the size is not always the same. Can you please suggest the best way this can be fixed. I'll attach an example.

Could we make the album artwork drop shadow scalable? The ends and the corner would need to be separated out and the middle section could be sized accordingly...
We'd also need to fill in the shadowed area so that with rounded images you'd still see shadows behind. This would probably just need fill rectangle of the right transparency/brightness. Noah: can you attach?

Ben, can you verify the spacing?
r1362 conforms to reference guidelines.
The right -0:00 song progress text appears mis-aligned. Please take a look at the attached guideline for the proper placement. It should be shifted to the right several pixels. The song progress bar also appears to be too small in width. The artwork should be 8x154px.
Elapsed + progress bar + Remaining will not fit on the screen for tracks > 9:59 in length unless the progress bar is squeezed a bit. I have no solution for this.
Hi Ben, Thank you for the quick repsonse. Can we move the left 0:00 in shifting the text to the right towards the progress bar? The left [+] and right [-] should be mirrored about the center of the screen. The spacing of the two relative to the song progress bar should be identical. If we cannot move the right then shift the left to compensate.
