Title: Blurred album art of current track as background image
Post by: CrimsonCard on August 18, 2021, 04:14:28 AM

Would it be possible to automatically derive a background image for the UI that is a blur/gradient of the current album art? Something like the Rdio Style or Cover List versions of theater view already do a pretty good job of making a suitable image but it's confined to theater view.

I like it but if it reduces the speed of MB I don't want it ;)
I'd prefer the image not to be blurred and instead have a transparent black overlay over it so that you can read the text.

I had thought about this as well after making the post. There could be a light mode and a dark that each put a lighter or darker tint on the pattern so that text would be readable with both dark and light themes.
