In defense of the NSIIiUI's camp, that example I posted would have made a terrible Now Playing screensaver. Not only is there a lack of whitespace when covers are shown, but there would be an abundance of whitespace when, as mikeselectricstuff mentioned, there's no art. Would it be asking too much to give the new screensaver some intelligence, and display big art if available, and big text if not? Knowing it would be asking too much, my dream would be if it could pull images of artists the way last.fm does, if there is no local art or as an option. -- Skunk http://www.last.fm/user/TheSkunk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51709 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
