err, yes...
hrm, don't think I explained myself there.
I meant if that window was full screen - ie takes up the entire screen with no borders.
And then you had an option to move in and out - ie alter the hight without going out of full screen view.

I'm sure you know what I mean. - a way to view more covers in the full screen view.

This explains it
The red border is just so you know the size of the window

1 - Full screen only 11 covers
2 - non full screen more covers but in a window
3 - suggestion was, full screen with black borders, so the actual size could be user configured from this smallish one with many covers, all the way up to the large on with few covers

That would keep, the aspect ratio of the covers as there supposed to be, while allowing a kind of faux zoom function.

I know it's not possible now, after looking into it, but maybe in the future something like this will be.
Would also be cool, instead of just the flat covers, to actually have the rest of the book, so you would see the spline and maybe some of the side with pages (that would just be an overlay image, same for all books, but would give them a real 3d feel.
Anyway I'm rambling now, so.....
