Have you tried turning off the Android Action Bar and using Poweramp's skinned menus instead? (if your phone does not have a physical menu button it might also be an idea to tick the "Show Menu Icon" item too, to force that button).

Yes, I've tried that, and then it does work as expected - the top menu bar fully disappears then, when the album cover is tapped. However I'd like to be able to use the Action Bar too, and have it use the same behaviour. I'm fairly sure that the Action Bar did behave that way in the past? But even if it did not, I think it makes sense that it should behave this way, at least so the behaviour is consistent with how the skinned menu functions.
Are you able to ask the developer about this topic?

Another not-so-good change with 580 is that the icon overlays at the very top don't go away anymore - they stay there permanently, and they sit on top of the album cover:

With the previous build, these icons would fade out of sight along with the repeat, star rating, and shuffle icons, either if you had "Auto Hide Panels" enabled, or else if you tapped on the album cover to make the overlay icons disappear. That no longer happens with 580.
Can this change be reverted to the previous behaviour - at least as an option for those of us who prefer nothing to cover the album image - please?
I've just updated to 581 via the Play Store, and the issue I described above still seems to exist: the action bar icons at the top of the screen still stay there permanently, sitting on top of the album cover - they don't go away when you tap the image like they used to in previous versions. (The icons underneath the album cover, for repeat, rating, and shuffle, do go away when you tap the image), and this is how the icons at the top used to behave:
581 with top and bottom icon bars showing:

581 after I tap on the album cover to make the icon bars go away - the top icons remain covering the picture (this is the behaviour that has changed):

The way it used to look in previous versions when the icon bars were not visible - no icons sitting on top of the image - this is what I'd love to see again!

It would be really great if the behaviour of those top icons could be reverted so that they don't show at all when the image is tapped!
And yes, I know I'm using a 3rd party skin here (as I'm sure many users are) - but this behaviour also exists with the default skin too. And ideally Poweramp should work in such a way that 3rd party skins - which are actively promoted in the settings via the "Get more skins" button - will not be negatively affected by the way it behaves!

That problem is related to the issue commented above (skinned menus and their related behavior don't work)
Okay good to know, thanks for clarifying.

So is this the best way to let him know about requests and issues, or is there another way?
