Report

Hovering the album art in the bottom-left gives a larger preview. I want to left-click it to toggle a persistent large album art view that stays at the bottom left — it could use the sidebar's space, for instance.

Findings

  • The hover enlargement lives with the mini player (frontend/src/components/now-playing/).
  • The shell is a CSS grid with named areas in frontend/index.css; the sidebar already has a collapsed icon mode below 900px, so a mode where the sidebar's lower half becomes the art panel is expressible in that grid.

Direction

A toggle persisted in the theme/UI settings. Decide whether it replaces the sidebar region or expands the player region — the latter avoids taking away navigation. Relates to the full-screen now-playing view request (that is the other end of the same spectrum).
