Minimalistic zen mode

[iox]

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for this fantastic software! I'm really enjoying it.

I was missing a "zen mode" where most of the panes are hidden and only the player is visible. So I asked an LLM for help and I'm quite happy with the result:

---

This is the standard mode (I know that the artwork looks bad on my machine because of using terminator - but I kind of like it :D):

---

And this is the zen mode, toggable by pressing z:

I don't want to annoy you with unrequested AI slop PR, so I decided to open a discussion first :). Code is here:: 3761183

Hey there,
sure I'm not at all opposed to this. The code is actually pretty clean. The only thing is that it's kind of ... not the same design language as the rest of the app. If you're up to make this work, I could write out the things I don't like about it and it can be added :) If not, it's something I might add in the future.

Thanks for the quick feedback! Sure thing, I'm up for some learning. Let me know what you'd like me to change and I will prepare a fresh PR :)

Awesome, so yeah the gist is that I try to keep everything in this app looking like it belongs together. From the screenshot you sent, and mind you these are all just aesthetic opinions which are harder to argue about unlike the code (and the code you sent is totally fine).

1. the image is too small, I think it might be good to occupy more of the screen. If that looks bad - then fine, but I think larger better
2. the progress bar should not be 100% of the width, 80% max I think?
3. the keybindings at the bottom should look the same as elsewhere in the app:

4. do you handle if there is no image? does it fall back correctly and is still centered? some people don't use art (you can set art: false in the config file)
5. the cover art has a block around it that is 100% of the width which doesn't look right, maybe completely remove it and just leave just the image. If that looks wrong then use borders everywhere including the player area, but I think no borders makes more sense here:

7. if you could add lyrics in here, that would be fantastic (you could do 1 line before foreground_dim, current line foreground and next line foreground_dim) colors maybe? But that's just if you find the time

@dhonus Sorry for the long delay!

I finally did the changes you requested: main...iox:jellyfin-tui:minimalistic-zen-mode

When the image is not available, the image is just not displayed, the rest of the content stays in place. Lyrics are displayed when available.

This looks really good! I'd be happy to merge this, can you open a PR so I can take a look? I have maybe 1 small nitpick, otherwise happy with this.
Please rebase against current main, though.
