36333

The NowPlaying screen display on Echo Show devices has been updated.
Until now, this used a standard Amazon APL template intended to show an
image and some plain text. It had the annoying characteristic of
aligning against the right side of the screen when the text was short,
meaning that the coverart image and text could have a large gap between
them. There was also no support for embedding icons with this standard
template — it's just a main image and some text adjacent and that's it.

I've now written a full-custom template which is very responsive to both
screen size/shape and also the length of the text to be displayed. It
also places the following icons next to the text entries to make it
clear what they are:

36334

Finally, there's a progress bar at the bottom of the screen (on larger
Echos, not the smaller ones) to show the percentage of the current track
that has already played. It does not update in real-time — it's a
snapshot of the situation when the voice command was processed.

Enjoy !
