robertjkeil Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I absolutely would love to have the option of just black, white, or gray behind the album art. The rainbow effect is distracting in my opinion.I joined this forum solely for the purpose of making this request. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlauer Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Any word on this? Been so long without a significant update! Would love the option to just set the background to a set colour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Tone Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yes an option to disable this would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron.Siegel Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Yeah verily, I too would like to know if the album art backdrop could be set to black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron.Siegel Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 We'll add an option for that - it's easy. Thanks for the request.Still looking for an option to override the album art backdrop. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRRohde Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes please make it an option, which is easy to do as there is already an album art settings page. Not all my album art is 1:1 dimensions, I don't like the graphical background that fills in the void. Keep it black (or auto plain colour, or auto black or white, to complicate things!)Yes please make it an option. I personally like though the "shadow" "reflection" that comes down through the controls. That's real classy. Please keep that, or ideally make that an option too. I should recognised that it seems a lot of ingenious effort went into making the auto background fill-in (and perhaps that's where Poweramp started?), sorry but I don't like it when it pops up around non-square album art. I also think there should be a checkbox or something in album art setting so that album art neatly fills up the screen width. Originally it took a lot of grief to realise 107% was needed! All the very best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awe444 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Another long-time Poweramp user here, kindly requesting the option to disable the blurry album-art background rendering. Many thanks for your continued support of this awesome app! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleriaqueen Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'd really like the option to disable the blurry and weirdly colored album-art background. Please make it available soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmp Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 We've added this option to build 555 (the next one). Thanks for the request! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awe444 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 We've added this option to build 555 (the next one). Thanks for the request! Thank you for taking the time to address this request! However, many of us who have posted to this thread were requesting something a bit different than the "No Shadow" option you've added. Specifically, we would like the option to remove the colored (blurry) background entirely. Please see this image for a precise example of what I mean: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Specifically, we would like the option to remove the colored (blurry) background entirely. I wondered how long it would take for that observation to be made about build 555, as that was the first thing I tried too. I initially assumed that the new option wasn't working for me until I noticed that the drop-shadow was the only thing being effected. Max, I too would prefer that this new option allowed the removal of the colour-wash background completely, rather than just the drop-shadow - i.e. leaving the background black (or as per the background of the current theme anyway).

inadilema Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Whats drop shadow? i don't see any changes in main player screen in the background whether i have enabled or disabled "No shadow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Whats drop shadow? i don't see any changes in main player screen in the background whether i have enabled or disabled "No shadow" It's the subtle black drop-shadow effect which surrounds the edge of the album art.

Specifically, we would like the option to remove the colored (blurry) background entirely. Please see this image for a precise example of what I mean: Yes I fully agree, there needs to be an additional option to remove the blurred-coloured background even though I have no problem with it. This was NOT addressed in v2.09 build 555 We need this, there are so many great skins but that ugly generated background ruins it!!!It's not ugly and Max and his team added this as they thought it would best compliment the UI. Like I said aforementioned, I do support an option to have no blur-colour behind the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTenaciousOtaku Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Absolutely not. It's a beautiful graphic and creates such a modern/elegant look. Definitely do NOT remove it. Make it optional at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJayWay Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Please add an option to remove the colored background gradient as user awe444 has so clearly illustrated ("C. No background"). Or maybe add a slider to adjust intensity, where value 0 would result in solid black on a dark skin. But I think most people watching this thread (5000 views!) would be happy with a simple on/off toggle. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I rather like the background image too, but obviously a lot of users want the option to disable it and see the current plain background instead (which may be black, or may be other colour depending on skins of course).

awe444 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Note that there exists a practical (not just aesthetic) reason for replacing the colored background with plain black----many phones today (mostly Samsung models) have LED screens which consume less power when displaying black pixels, since these pixels are essentially turned off when black. This is precisely why I love the "Black Neon" theme in Poweramp, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
