Request: Smaller slides (option or another view) to give fanart a bit more visibility #162

Open olavinto opened 6 years ago

olavinto commented 6 years ago

Description

Would it be possible to get an optional view where the slides are smaller. For poster views this would be especially nice because currently they take up most of the screen and while they look nice they hide the background fan art almost completely. No means do I want the original view to be edited or replaced but an option for it or another view with like ~40% smaller posters would be very nice.

This will probably happen at some point, but it's low priority at the moment tbh. And if it does I doubt it would adress your wish thoug, as it would mean the space in between the posters wouldn't necessarily be bigger.

olavinto commented 6 years ago

Yeah, but it would be enough to get more free space on top of the poster row so that the backdrop would show up more as currently the central part (which is usually the most notable) is pretty much completely covered. Even on TV episode lists it is already better because the landscape episode thumbs free up the top portion of the view. Showcase views on many skins are a good example of what I'd like and they also have the text part on top of the posters so that only the bottom part of the background is covered - maybe this could also work for GRiD. But you do what you will, it's great even as it is. :-)
