Description trmdi 2018-11-20 06:16:58 UTC

SUMMARY
Please see the screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/FALC3xJ.png
The album art in VLC's tooltip is not displayed fully compared to the real image in VLC.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open a song that has an embed album art e.g. https://freeallmusic.top/track/7768-1462-1677/109 with VLC (or similar apps)
2. Hover the VLC icon on the panel to show the tooltip

OBSERVED RESULT
The album art is not displayed fully.

EXPECTED RESULT
The preview tooltip should display the album art fully, does not crop it.

Or background of the tooltip's title rectangle "VLC media player/ Dua Lipa - ..." should be transparent.

I think rather than being cropped, album art should shrink to fit task manager thumbnails. This would also be more consistent with window thumbnail previews.

[Task Manager] Do not crop album art in tooltip

Summary:
- The standard aspect ratio of `albumImage` is always `1:1`. We should not crop the important part of `albumArt` in some cases.
- Hide the window title text of media players to avoid displaying the title/artist repeatedly.
FIXED-IN: 5.16.0

Test Plan:
Before vs After:

- Breeze Light
