Any way to make the top icons auto-hide on the Now Playing screen?
Post Body

First off, thanks so much for your continued development! Your devotion to this app is fantastic and I appreciate all the work you do!

For the most part, I really like the 2.0 update. However, one thing stands out as being almost neglected. The icons at the top of the now playing screen. Back, Cast, Favourite, and Options. Sort of feels like they were just left there.

The full-bleed artwork is one of my favourite touches. But having these icons interfering with the top 20% is an eye sore. At the very least, they should disappear automatically, or when double tapping the artwork, like back with the lyrics integration. Because right now, any text in the artwork turns into a befuddled mess with the icons, and they just generally don't sit right.

Artwork should be celebrated and shown off, in my opinion. It should have the sole attention in any music player, not covered up by anything else.

That's my biggest gripe with this update.


Also, just one other hopeful suggestion while I have your attention. The space for the status bar at the top. I wish it would go. I have for a while, and I'm a little disappointed it's still there after this update.

I like to hide my status bar system-wide. I know most people don't do this, but I love the cleanliness doing that gives. But when using Shuttle, this means a shadow shows up where the bar is supposed to be. Again, an eyesore. This forces me to use the same theme for the past 2 years of using Shuttle: Black for the Base Theme and the Primary Color, with the only color being a red accent. This makes a smooth black screen with no shadow at the top. Now, I really dig this combination, and haven't gotten sick of it yet. But I would still like to also use other colours.

If you're able to add an option to hide the status bar altogether, that would be fantastic, IMO.

Just a thought...

Again, thanks for all your hard work!
