NEW Playing Now in Theater View

<< < (6/10) > >>

Sheugel:
Amazing! Looks really great. Thanks for that.

Hello,
I like it! However, I personally prefer the "List" view. Is there any way to make it default? as an option.
I'd like to see what's coming next while in Playing Now.

Also, this new Playing Now is awfully similar to the Big Screen mode - large cover plus some info, progress bar and volume control.

In the Big Screen mode the same stuff pops out when one moves the mouse over. This pop-out bar is nice but not useful at all in the Theater View mode (too small).

Isn't it time to rework the Big Screen for Theater View to make it touch-screen and RC and 10'-interface friendly?

Basically, what I suggest is:
-- revert Playing Now more or less back where it was before - i.e. the current List mode of Playing Now
-- change the new Playing Now to the Big Screen mode

Does it make sense?

Thanks!

To elaborate: These items aren't actually highlighted—it's that all other items are dimmed. This seems unnecessary, and can make those items difficult to read if background images are used. This view should look the same as the file list view. There, no list items are dimmed and the selected item is framed by a window (as it is in the PN list). The item currently playing is indicated by an "Play" icon. I don't find this a bold enough indication of which item is playing. It would stand out better if the font color were changed as well. Using the same color as the icon might look nice, and reinforce the meaning.

Whatever changes are made, I think the file and PN list views should look the same. Their top rollers remain distinct, so there's no risk of becoming "lost" because they look the same.

After doing a quick search I can't find anything about how to change the images that show up in the background of Playing Now in Theatre View.  I can see that they do some sort of image search based on the song titles, but I find these completely distracting (why do I want to see some random girls' hockey team?) and can't find a way to turn them off or select local images.

Sorry if this is obvious and I'm just missing it.
