Customize how artwork is hidden with three distinct styles: Blur Mode softly blurs the artwork to keep ambient colors, Solid Mode blocks the image with a matched color scheme, and Initials Mode replaces covers with song or artist initials.
Want to see the album cover for a split second? Simply hover your mouse over any masked image to temporarily reveal the original artwork. The moment you move your mouse away, it’s instantly hidden again.
