1) Get rid of the volume control on the display when using digital cards. (I have inserted display: none; into the panels.css to do this on my own)
2) Increase the font size of the current song. Maybe have an " uncluttered mode" that only shows this. I have modified my version to increase the font  and reduce the artwork size, but it is still difficult to read especially from the listening position. If I were a better coder I would make the album and song occupy the area of the volume control as well as the current area so the font could be increased further.
3) Permit the addition of the .png file for custom radio stations in the add station. Working with SQLite3 is not too difficult, but I think this would be a simple mod.
4) Screen blank in the shutdown menu is needed. I currently have programed my remote to do this. It is essential for always on operation.
5) Make a keyboard come up on the touchscreen.
6) Add a favorite station entry. I have also done this with my remote control commands.
7) Make additional lines in the config.,txt . With the addition of the IR commands, The automatic screen flip and brightness have been screwed up and I had to hardwire them in.
Thanks to all

It’s impossible for one screen to be all things to all people. It sounds like what you’d really like is a “screensaver mode” that displays just the album cover, song name, etc., after a short time period, no?

Going from this:



....to a screensaver like this (after a minute or 2)....



....or something like this....



And when the cursor is moved, you go back to the "normal" screen. Love the idea...

I see where you're going with this, Swizzle, and it is an interesting idea. 

Configurable time to initiate..
Option for full-screen 'text only' (title artist album bitrate etc) without album art ?
Screen touch or mouse movement returns to standard screen ?
