At the moment it actually accelerates a little bit but it still animates each cover art, I think something similar to the standard Album menu is required

I think I probably needs to make sure it only keeps the current cover and a number of covers before and after in memory. epoch1970;461800 Wrote: > > - could the "front" cover zoom to a larger size on the Controller ? > Yes I'd like that too. Currently I just rotated the Radio view 90 degrees which results in that the album part of the screen has less screen space since the text also needs some space. Possible options I can see: - Make the middle cover larger and the up/down cover smaller on the Controller - Make the bottom cover go behind the text, it probably needs some darkening if doing this to make sure the text is still clearly visible. epoch1970;461800 Wrote: > > - what about a vertical bar on a side of the screen, with a cursor > showing the current position ? > Good idea, I thought about this for the Touch which doesn't have a knob/wheel but I can probably be useful also on the Controller/Radio even though it would just be a visual indication. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68376 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
