As long as we're redesigning the display format... someone made this suggestion a long time ago and I think it is an excellent idea:

In the "Now and Next", and the "Track" display modes, move the bottom line up to the top line of the screen keeping the same small font presently used for the playlist counters. (Then move the "Plays" information onto that line as well.)

That would solve the problem of the shape of the fascia blocking the top left portion of the screen, because the area blocked would either be blank, or not anythng of pressing importance, and it would keep the time counter from blocking out portions of two of the lines in Now and Next.
