Continuing the discussion from Plex for Roku:
I’ve been requesting something similar for a while now and glad to see progress. My request was to only cut back on the dimming, not the zooming, however, when comparing new and old, I see the readability issue…
Having had a chance to see the new changes, I LOVE the non-dimming, but the non-zooming takes away the feeling of moving deeper into the subject matter (title) and takes away from some of the “splash” effect. BUT, I do see how not dimming would impact the readability, if still zooming.
Here is a side-by-side:
“old”
“new”
My hope is for a compromise of sorts, some middle amount of zooming, but using a needed gradient of dimming about where the title summary begins on the right side of the text. Currently, the cast feels detached and the image feels like it isn’t as incorporated into the screen.
However, if I had to chose between the two, “new” is better. Just hoping for “newer.”
