[FEATURE] UI adjustments for Android split screen #538

Description

@stebe

📣 Description

What feature would you like to see added?
While driving I use split screen mode Waze at the top and Power-Ampaches on the bottom. I find the UX needs to be tweaked to better show on the smaller screen. Especially the control buttons which are sometimes not visible.


🎯 User Story / Use Case

Why is this feature important?
I would improve readability and usage. I'm not an UX designer so I have no idea if this can be accomplished or not. See the screenshots for examples. I only use the playback screen while driving so I'm not sure how this also looks on the other menu screens.


🧭 Where Does This Apply?

Select the parts of the app this feature would impact:

  • Playback screen
  • Background playback / notification controls
  • Downloads / Offline Mode
  • Login / User Account
  • Settings / Preferences
  • Audio Engine / Player
  • Library / Collections
  • Accessibility / UX
  • Other: [...]

🔁 Alternatives Considered

Have you considered any other approaches or workarounds?
Landscape works better but for navigation landscape isn't as useful.


💬 Additional Context

You can add screenshots, diagrams, or mockups here if it helps explain the idea better.

Portrait with PA using 1/3 of the screen. The control buttons are hidden. This is the most used split screen for me.

Portrait with PA using 1/2 of the screen The playback controls are there. The art maybe could be made into a smaller square?

Portait with PA using 2/3 of the screen. Similar to the half screen.

I don't use landscape mode but there are those screenshots for completeness.
