Title: Menus in Playing now
Post by: boydn on March 22, 2011, 04:33:25 am

Love in playing now how it shows the Album cover then goes to artist art.
Only thing I'd like to see the menus dissappear after XX seconds/minutes.
Playing now is the normal view on my HTPC and I'm afraid the menus might burn in.

Have you tried Theater View?

Theater view is about all I use. 
"Display View" only shows the album cover where with the playing now view it changes to the "artist pictures".
Is it a setting on my "Display View"?
Thanks

I totally agree that it would be nice for the menus to disappear if there has not
been any mouse input for x seconds. Even better would be if they were hot zoned
and hidden by default like display view.
I am not concerned to much with burn-in as it is pretty much a thing of the past.
I have an lcd that is used as an information center with some static images.
It has been running pretty much 24/7 for 2 years and there is no burn-in on it.
I would just like them to hide for asthetic purposes.
Just as a test change your wallpaper to black and then hide the taskbar to see if
the start orb has burnt in. It hasn't on my 2 22" Samsung LCDs which are 4 years old.

Yes I'd like to see the menus fading out as well. It's just more aesthetic.

I must agree it would be a nice option... Fade after preset time, come back with mouse move or remote input.

I guess "MC" doesn't agree
