Show album cover full-screen when playing music?

[hired goon]

G'day,

When playing music, the album cover (or thumbnail) and tag info is displayed in the corner of the screen, with the visualization shown in the background. I don't like the visualizations (too distracting), so I turned it off, and now I have a black screen with a wee thumbnail in the corner.

But it would be cool to have the album cover shown full screen here, rather than a dull black background. Or an image of the artiste. Or any other image of my choice.

I'm guessing that this is not currently supported (the stored thumbnail is too small to scale up to fullscreen), but it would be a nice enhancement.

The size of the stored thumbnail is up to the user (it can be set in advancedsettings.xml). A 256x256 thumb will probably scale up reasonably well (any higher than that and you may be pushing it memory-wise while viewing lists etc.)

Then it's just a matter of modifying the skin (MusicVisualisation.xml) to suit.

Cheers,
