I'm not sure we're all on the same page here. The bottom line is that in my personal use, the way the current AW Display window works is really rather silly. I like to set the "Playing Now" window to a Track Info screen, which means that every time I play a song, a TOTALLY USELESS display pops up in the AW. Depending on which Track Info display I'm using, I either see a small portion of the Cover Art, or the edge of some graphics that tell me absolutely nothing. It's simply useless, and I'm unclear why it would a disadvantage to offer a seperate setting for these windows which, once again, are typically VERY different sizes.
I can't use a detached display since I'm only using a single monitor, and there is little enough room as it is on the desktop, so there is certainly not enough room to included another window.
Regarding the "complexity," I'm not clear why what I'm saying would necessarily be a problem in this regard (at least it's not "intuitive" that it would be.) What would be so complex about having each display something different (expecially since they don't display at the same time), and what "logic" problems would there be? To me, what REALLY illogical is having the AW display something that doesn't fit in the window, and is therefore useless.
That said, if it is too complex to have ALL choices for both windows, how about limiting the AW Dispaly window choices to two possibilties; the PN selection or "Cover Art"? This way, those of us who use a small AW (I'm sure I'm not the only one) could ensure that something USEFUL always displays in the AW, rather than having the space wasted with a cut off, unreadable portion of a track info screen. In the current setup, this is what happens on my system.
I can understand how to make it work logically with a detached window on a multi-monitor setup, but on a single monitor, it just doesn't make sense to me to have windows of such totally different sizes display the same thing, and to have the AW Display window cut off most of the Track Info display.
I can't help wondering if there is a misunderstanding here regarding what I'm saying.
Thanks,
