How can i make the Album Cover show bigger?
« on: July 12, 2016, 05:47:20 am »

Hi,

Always was bothered with the small Album Cover on the bottom left while playing music on my 2560x1440 Monitor.
How can i display it bigger?
There is only option for 100% and stretch. Why cant it be displayed bigger even though it may is pixelated then?
For an 1920x1080 Monitor it would be sufficient, but not for mine.

Without using the Scaling of the whole JRiver Please! I dont want that!
Only the Album Cover art on the Bottom left should be bigger.

It's not straight forward to do what you're asking.  But here's one way I've tested that's close to what you're asking for:

How can i define view 2 in column mode as "Playing now" ?
This is very confusing.. If it only were more user friendly i would understand.
Can you make a video of doing it please?

This isn't something I normally do, but I had extra time and wanted to play around with it so...

Here's a video:

This did help me alot further.
But i dont have those disclosure triangles which can hide the Panels to begin with...
I use the Purity Skin. Audio Only Mode.

I used Purity for a while.  It's a decent skin.  Then I moved on to Carbon, Onyx, and eventually Black and Blue Too (HC SB).

But on Purity, you really do have the disclosures, you just don't know it!  :)  See the row of 5 dots in the center divider?  Just above and just below those, you can click and they work just like the triangles.  I just tried it on my system, with Purity and it worked fine.

Good luck,

Brian.

I found it!
But on my 2560x1440 screen its like 2x2 pixels big!!

Why is that so small. I could finally see it with the Windows magnifier LOL

If it only where white or something you could more easily spot it.

^ Yeah, I always wonder why skin designers change functional elements of the interface like that.  You could hack on it yourself.  Or use another skin. You might like one of the 3 I listed above.  Onyx in particular.

You can also double click anywhere on the dividers to open/close them.

That word (hacking or hacker) has multiple meanings.  For people like me it means working on computer systems, possibly doing modifications that weren't anticipated, and generally being innovative and clever about what you are doing. 

The other meaning means "computer criminal" who is out to do harm.  At one point, people tried to call that type of person a "cracker" (since he breaks in to systems like a safe cracker opens safes).  But that meaning never seemed to stick.  So Hacker has both the good guy meaning and the bad guy meaning.

I of course am using the good guy meaning.  Nice hack.  :)

Set MC to load your last view and it should load up your splits, tabs, etc.  Tools > Options > startup > location > last location .
