Tile Art as Background
I noticed that with the support for high res album art the option to make the covers the songlist background as uses big images. Before this option
titled all of the artist's albums side by side (which I thought looked really sharp), but now only 1 album is used. Is there any way you can make
eJukebox use multiple covers in the background again. Also my images are 500 X 500 so I can really only see one full cover in the background and the
next one chops off in the middle. Can you add an option like this:
Tile Album art in the background at 500 X 500 - 300 X 300 - 100 X 100 (this would be a drop down box to select the size)
This way you have the option for smaller images to be tiled therefor allowing multiple albums to be seen. Thanks!

The songlist in eJukebox has always tiled 1 album cover in the background - it has never put different albums side by side. v3.95 just updated it to
use the higher quality version of the album's cover when available.
I will keep the idea of having multiple covers in the background in mind for the future but it might be confusing when you are viewing an album's
songlist - since then it should probally just show that albums cover like it does now.

Here's a screen from 3.994. It shows what I am talking about with the background area being tiled with multiple album images.

Now here is a similar situation in 3.995 where the artist currently displayed in the songlist encompasses multiple albums, but only one higher res
cover is tiled. The other songs in the songlist all have albums in their ID3 tags and show up in now playing eventhough their name is only displayed
in the songlist.

Now i see how you got the impression that it tiled multiple albums in the background. What you are actually seeing is: the Bon Jovi album cover for
"Crush" being tiled in the background.
Here is the Crush album image that was being used:

Whooops! That makes me feel really stupid. Although I think it would look cool if eJukebox could make a similar effect (minus the white bordering)
with an artist's albums. I think it looks pretty nice  Sorry about that

I agree. I asked for scaling of albums not a long ago. But it would be a performance hit. A cool variation of this would be if those albums where
randomizaly tiled...
