Hi Tim,
You are right. On the previous Moode versions the interface looked the same (with both time and volume knobs) on a 13,3" 1920x1080 laptop screen and a 6,7" 2400x1080 smartphone one (even though the W/H ratio are a bit different : 16/9 vs 20/9). Interface was very usable on the smartphone being used as a remote while listening.
That would be nice to get back the previous screen design on a smartphone by restoring the (old or current) PC based one !
Thank you so much for Moode and your involvment as well as the Moode team contributions to make it always better !
Best regards.

The only problem being the aspect-ratio...
Everything can be rescaled and fitted to a 16:9 or even a 20:9... but the sizes, and usability would most likely be compromised... a 4:3 display is the most usable for the NowPlayng screen (that shown here above), while a 20:9 is the best for library browsing, easily allowing for genre + artist + album colums to be shown; although the height of the lists themselves is almost useless, being anything between 3 and 5 rows... I think I gave the idea.
@Tim Curtis is doing an excellent work, but we all must agree that there are some (physical, and ethical) limitations to what can be done, and by "be done" I actually mean "be done well".
Cheers, Al.
