@SO9010 Interested in seeing if there are other suggestions. Maybe add a download button on right click? Esc button could trigger it's closing? |
|
I think having a download option would bear TOS sadly. |
|
I will have a better look soon :) |
I actually don't know if this would be a TOS breach? I can't really find any information on this? |
I think it would be. You are not supposed to store any Spotify content, anything that comes from their API. See section 4, sub-section 3. There's a specific mention for coverart where they explicitly say it can be temporarily cached.
Obviously apps like this probably also want to cache audio data, but technically their public API doesn't actually provide that... |

Specifically, I need some testing around Windows & Linux appearance of the cover art |
|
Having a look on windows now :) |

Okay, so on windows, the window size isn't quite the same as the image, so there are borders on the side, which make it look a bit odd. Also, note the fact that the window doesn't have a name. It feels incomplete having a whole window to itself; maybe we could take this as an opportunity to have a mini-player? This could be pretty simple by just adding the controls at the bottom. Maybe there's a way to have a pop-up that doesn't have a frame, can't move, and disappears when the focus changes. A bit like a right-click menu? Also, another thing that is needed is for the image to have rounded corners.

This allows users to click on the cover art of a currently playing song and see it in higher quality.
