MCE Now Playing UI
Consistent Vista Media Center UI Please:
For whatever reason, the Now Playing UI (for My Music) doesn’t match the rest of the Media Center UI. The background is blackish and very muddy looking.
This is the correct background. The team choose a different background to distinguish between ‘the browsing’ and the ‘now playing experience’. Since in MCE 2005 many screens in music looked very similar, i.e. album details compared to the now playing experience for an album, users could get confused and we wanted to clearly distinguish between the two.
It could be nicer looking though - don’t >they
I actually like the subtle movement seen in the new Now Playing background. It’s a nice change, and makes the album art stand out a bit more.
Hadn’t paid much attention to that but just pulled up the Deep Purple album Perfect Stangers right now (listening to Knocking At Your Back Door) and yeah it is different but….. Mikey likes :-)
