Hide Volume Knob

2. @bifi1960 "more space for the playlist and you could use a larger font"

There’s really not that much space that’d be freed up by removing the knobs. The playlist and cover are both basically 38% of the screen and the last thing anyone wants is to have to scroll to access a control. Plus people love the big stupid things, they’re like the loveable mutt of screen controls, they practically lynched the poor sweet volume slider when you added it to the Pi screen in place of the volume knob, lol.

@bifi1960 if text on the screen is hard to read that’s another concern, the “adaptative” part of the ui was in large part due to wanting to improve accessibility. Theoretically we’ll eventually be able to offer a way to adjust the base font size and everything (including the playlist) will scale gracefully.
