Hello - That/This is a really cool development!
I use my XBMC (as most) as my complete media center and I love the PMIII skin. However I think that there is room (pun) to utilise more of the screen for one of the 'view' options. I am currently using the 'Screensaver' mode in the 'None' mode to achieve a 'Full Screen' view. I have modded MusicVisualization.xml to show a larger album cover etc.
What I think would be good is the whole '3D_coverview' as a full screen view option. i.e Left hand menu and top graphics dissapear (possibly brought back with a button) and only the grey bg fills the screen. The bottle left Album would go as well (double up anyway). In this case Album covers could be made larger too. Probably the same size as the current Album view.
I initially thought a 'Album/Jukebox' visualization could be a go but??
Finally: I notice that in Party Mode, the 3d COverview ans ALbum views change as the songs change however when in just 'Now Playing' with other selected files they do not change. (just the cover in the bottom left).
sorry to ramble but I think the fullscreen Album scroll/3D Cover flow/view would be awesome for all those with widescreen (16x9) views.
