Feature Requests

Apologies for adding to the ever increasing list of feature requests, but....
I've asked for these over many years having bought licenses for MC21 (and perhaps older) through to 26 (only skipped 25 I think...)
Perhaps Jim or someone from JR could just tell me there simply isn't access to the code to make these options available or I don't make a strong enough case :-)
New Theatre View options:
(1) Option to disable animation/3d effects on cover art - in particular the distracting 'elastic' animation - it just becomes an annoying unnecessary distraction on the horizontally scrolled views (even with a modest number of albums/videos!) when it floats 3d backwards and forwards and takes ages to settle back to something viewable again! (see pic 1 below) - a bonus would be to options to remove the cover art angles (pic 2)/rotation animations etc. and just have simple fades.
(2) Option to change the cover art size and/or margins on all views. AFAIK the scaling option applies to vertical scrolled cover art view but not the other views (only text gets enlarged). Music albums (1:1/square) seem to be quite well scaled already (see pic 3 - skipped couldn't upload pic - maybe they could be a bit closer together...) but DVDs/BDs (1:1.5/rectangular) have a fairly large gap between them (pic 4). Some way of adjusting these sizes/gaps and separately for square/1:1.5 ratio covert art would be nice.
(3) Option to disable the drop shadow that's added to all the text in Theatre View would make things more legible/cleaner.
(4) Duplicate of another post in MC26, but... offline backdrop.jpg support (stored with album or video file) for albums/videos that shows up as a background when on an album is selected (e.g. pic 5) and in playing now (e.g. pic 6).
(5) Customisation of the text that shows up under the cover in playing now - for example, I don't need to see the volume setting as I leave it at max/bit perfect, but visibility of the time remaining countdown without having to scroll to it (i.e. the ability to add it in the main text block that's currently hard coded [artist] [track] [duration]) would be nice.
(6) Duplicate of another post, but this: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126183.0.html. If I click enter on a track (e.g. pic 2) just play the track and add all the tracks underneath to playing now, without having to go to another screen to play all (and similarly for videos where there is an intermittent 'watch' screen) - I don't need either step every time I select media, I just want it to play)
