Currently there seems to be 3(?) different ways that the desktop player can display itself, depending on the size of the window:

I personally prefer layout number 2, but to get that layout i cannot have the plexamp window maximized on my monitor.

Is there a way to override the layout so it doesn’t have to depend on the window size?

currently i’m resizing the window with a script so that it is taller than the monitor, but ideally i would be able to handle it more natively.

in the FAQ it say i can change the size but i cannot find the option in the settings menu so i’m assuming it is outdated (2017).

Can I change the app size or hide it altogether?

The Size selector in the app menu allows you to choose the app size:

  • Nihilist - Don’t show the app UI at all. You can still control it with media keys.
  • Hipster - The smallest visible UI. You might like this on a small laptop screen.
  • Regular - A normal, default size for the app.
  • Roo - Big and bold, because that’s how it’s done Down Under!

Ah, yes. that is indeed a legacy post, supporting Plexamp v1.x
A lot has changed since then. In fact, it was almost a complete rewrite from 1.x to 2.x
and we’re currently at v4.x

so i’m assuming the answer is no, you cannot override the layout depending on the window size?

i was hoping there might be a startup option or something.

Unfortunately not.

alright, i made a feature suggestion so maybe it can be made at some point in the future :person_shrugging:
