On the spectral-plot visualizations it would be nice if they could be shifted & scaled vertically when viewing Info:Line. Most of the action right now occurs behind the info line.

Elsewhere on the BBS recently, Hugo hinted that Toby was toying with the ability to scale the visualizations to fit within the reduced info:line screen area. It's possible that this might appear in 1.1.

How 'bout a smaller font for the Line info? The font that's used for the Album and Year in the track info screen? That'd mean more room for visualization, and more of the info fitting in the screen at once. To me, the small font is quite readable and would be perfect for the line info. I think this might have been suggested already, but it's so closely related to this thread that I thought I'd reiterate. It'd be very cool to see this in 1.1.

As long as we're making wishes about the info display... could we increase the speed at which the info scrolls across the screen?

Seconded; I always feel like I'm going to crash waiting for the artist AND title to come up:)

Actually, I never use the scrolling line. When I want to find out who it is, I hold the bottom button to toggle the info mode. My problem is that the text at the top of the screen that says: "Info: Track" hangs around far too long. I feel like I'm going to crash waiting for that bar to go away so I can read the song title.

The speed of that bar wouldn't happen to be configurable in config.ini, would it?

...I think the "info-track" naming goes away if you tell emplode to turn off visual naming; doesn't it? I'll have to check this..

In either case my favorite Empeg state is funnelweb and single line, soooo....

Irrelevant. I want those names there in all cases, I like them, I just don't want them to hang around on the screen as long as they currently do.

...I think that's probably the reason that I disabled them.. a user-configurable time limit on how long they stay would be nice...
