Cover view works as well.
The main UI looks better with the default pixel setting, but cover view works best with the square pixel setting. Is there any way to change from the main UI view to cover view on the fly?
You can use "Automatic Display" and "Timed Display" in the m => Preferences, in the last section at the bottom (COVERVIEW).
On my setup, that shows the cover view OK, but no way to get the UI view back without turning "Automatic Display" off and rebooting.
When the "Automatic display" setting is changed LocalUI simply restarts and there should be no need to reboot.
The command below can be used to turn CoverView on/off on the local display.
Code:
pi@moode:~ $ /var/www/util/coverview.php --help
Usage: coverview [OPTION]
CoverView screen saver
With no OPTION print the help text and exit.
-on Show CoverView screen saver
-off Hide CoverView screen saver
--help Print this help text
pi@moode:~ $IIRC there used to be a toggle button for this in System config in an earlier release of moOde. If you think it would be useful to have a button to manually turn CoverView on/off I can add it back for upcoming 8.2.5.
Btw, if you just want CoverView displayed on your TV but not on any other connected clients leave "Timed display" set to "Never".
