HDMI Output: Bring back blurred album art background for TV display

Hi Hi-Fi Rose Team,

After one of the recent updates, I noticed a change in how the album cover art is displayed on the external TV via HDMI.

Previously, the HDMI display featured a beautiful, soft, blurred ambient background generated from the album artwork color palette. With the recent UI update, this blurred background disappeared on the TV output, leaving a flat/dark layout—even though the touchscreen on my RS150/RS151 unit still displays the nice blurred artwork background as before.

On a large TV screen, the ambient blurred background added a lot to the living room atmosphere. The new flat background looks quite cool and bare by comparison.

Could you please consider bringing back the option for the blurred album art background for the HDMI / TV screen output in an upcoming Rose OS update? Ideally as a toggleable setting in the HDMI Display menu.

Thank you for your great work and continuous support!

Best regards,

Stefan
