Heya. I open various applications here and there that change desktop resolution. Unfortunately, Musicbee changes along with the resolution, and doesn't go back to normal when I go back to my default resolution :( - it's pretty annoying. Musicbee still looks mostly normal, it's the "track information" panel that changes a lot. The displayed album art size goes up and down. For a while it was displaying album art full size, and now it's displaying it in as a small size (shown here: http://i.imgur.com/VPWQVDj.png). I think by default musicbee displays album art at around 300x300 in the player (all my album art files are at least 600x600). I tried going back to my "custom view", but it didn't fix it.

How can I get the size of the displayed album art back to normal? Thanks.

bump

anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thought about maybe upgrading MusicBee to the latest version.

thanks for the reply!

I had seen those options before but they actually have no affect on the size of the displayed album art (I know they certainly are supposed to). I could change the px to any size (even 999) and it still stays the exact size it is in that picture above. I don't know how it got so messed up like this, but it seems unfixable. I need to do something like revert all default settings and hope that works. I'm afraid it will just happen again even if I do that though, I need the music bee player to stop adjusting to different resolutions of applications I run and not reverting back. Also, player looks like this now: http://i.imgur.com/Pig2ga8.png :-\ - like I said it it keeps doing weird things when it tries to match the resolution of other applications I run.

i cant relate the screenshot to how you are describing the issue - the album cover looks completely normal size to me. The only thing that looks odd is the width of the track info panel.
Could you post a screenshot of MB as normal and what the screen resolution was, then what you changed the screen resolution to and a screen shot afterwards

Sure thing. Sorry, it's hard to describe.

Here's what my normal MB player looks like, the size and everything I like: http://i.imgur.com/89KL5DC.png

but after coming back from a program that runs is a lower resolution, it looks glitched like this: http://i.imgur.com/Pig2ga8.png

then after restarting MB, the glitchy window is fixed but the album art size has is still shrunken down: http://i.imgur.com/VPWQVDj.png

I can keep fixing it manually (by doing like you said in the layout config panel, then restarting), it's not the worst problem ever, it's just annoying to have to keep fixing it. Thanks!
