Re: [Gtkpod-devel] coverart display

[P.G. R. <p.g...@ph...>]

Nick,

Definitely recommend you have a look at patch 0.21 which is available on
this list. I have changed the scrolling functionality a fair bit
underneath so these problems may well vanish.

Will put artist/album rendering onto artwork on todo list. Already been
suggested having these somewhere in the display.

Aiming to get a cvs branch up and running. Should make trying it out and
further dev a lot easier.

Regards

Paul
