Can we have the option not use this? please...

We'll add that if we decide to keep the new style thumbnails.

I'm in the market for a widescreen flat panel monitor. maybe then, who knows..

You know what they say; once you go widescreen, you'll never go back! ;D
I picked up a 21" Gateway FPD2185W several weeks ago. 1680 x 1050 is sweet!
Pink Waters:
Looks good, but why not by the way you make a slight album cover shadow ?
it would give a great look like this:
It will give a great look for the entire library..
rather than this standard look of albums that looks like papers.
edit: it also has a slight black boarder for the albums that works well among the shadows.

Looking at the 11.1.142 stacks, I think the larger size with single albums actually makes things busier. And I'm not sure whether the randomized stacks is always working, or ever working. But I really like the stacks, and I think it's a farly well developed idea as it is. I would like to be able to pick individual albums out of the stack animation. Since you're going to all this trouble with your stacks, why not make it a way of browsing and queuing?
In the category of things I never thought I'd hear myself say, I think Pink's comment makes sense. You've already got the panes/details view, so why not go right-brain with this? You can find something using words, or, you can find something using pictures. This picture thing is opening new doorways to my library, FWIW. So dress up the pictures!

And Marko--
Check out the Samsung flat panel monitors. I highly recommend them.
--Fastest refresh rate
--Excellent Contrast
--Good brightness.
--Very sharp (almost too sharp).
And cheap (relatively). Samsung makes the Dell monitors and I believe also the Gateway. Until Sony/Viewsonic/Phillips come down in cost, you can get two Samsungs for the same price. Twin monitors! As Galley says, once you go widescreen you'll never go back, but once you've had twins, well, the world will look forever different.
