Allow the users to remove the bottom scrim and its metadata from backdrops

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using custom backdrops from a Google+ album, it would be great if users 
can choose to remove the scrim at the bottom along with its metadata so that 
they can clearly view their own album photos. Photos with white background are 
currently most severely affected with a black gradient showing up on the bottom 
half of the screen. There is already a setting for removing weather data from 
this scrim. Perhaps we could have another one to completely remove the scrim 
along with the time and photo description.

We couldn't repro this issue, images show fine (even ones with white 
background). If you think otherwise, please provide an example image we can 
identify the issue with.

Please see the attached image which I used to confirm the presence of the 
scrim. What about giving users the option to remove the metadata (album 
description and time) for their personal G+ photos in the Chromecast app?

There's an option to cast a slideshow of personal pictures from G+ as backdrop 
which doesn't show any metadata.

It shows the time, name of album and the album description on each photo in
the slideshow.
