I'm talking about the Now Playing screen throughout my post. Album art is pretty and all but straining to read tiny text that's using maybe 10% of the screen real estate has never made any sense to me. It's perfectly useless when all that space is just being filled by the generic disc, note or tower icons. I would prefer an *option* to have the text be the primary visual element taking up screen space. As for the landscape mode, It's frustrating to have to rotate my device to portrait in to skip a track. I use an iPod touch as a controller whin I'm on a stationary bike and I can skip tracks with one hand in portrait mode but can't read the text. In landscape mode I can read the text a bit better but can't skip tracks. -- jstraw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
