[Redesign] Improve Grid View #630

Open snppls opened 6 months ago

snppls commented 6 months ago

The design of grid view feels inconsistent (and aesthetically overwhelming) compared to the rest of the app. Overlaying the album and artist name over the album art is a bit chaotic and would benefit from the same design language as the list view - that is, placing the artist and album name under the album art. I have included screenshots from youtube music and HalpoPlayer which illustrate how a similar grid view might look and how text can be more legible and provide an overall cleaner interface. A bit more padding and space around each album would be beneficial too.

I'll see if I can fit it in at some point, but honestly grid view is not a priority right now. The redesign didn't change it yet, it's the same as in the stable version.

Once the screens have been re-designed for the list views, I'll think about this. Maybe the toggle between list and grid view will be removed entirely, using grid items where it makes sense. I actually believe this is how the redesign is planned at the moment...

Edit: Grid view will probably not go away completely, there will be some screens ("list" of albums/artists/playlists/genres) where it makes sense to support both.

I'd say keeping grid view for album lists and stuff would be useful, I think it's nice to have for tablets and stuff

This a great idea that I hope others feel similarly about. I relate to my music through my album art. Probably from the days of scanning through vinyl in the record store. Having a fast grid view with the adjustments mentioned above would be very well received I think.

+1 It would be awesome if this could be implemented!
