How to keep 'no artwork' conditional viewport from briefly appearing?
TexasRockbox:
Never had a problem (that wasn't because of an error in coding of a theme). Mine are all named "cover.jpg" and reside within the subdirectory as the music files. Organized: Music\<artist>\<album>\<files>

Not quite...in fact, not at all actually.
Like JdGordon said previously, until AA is actually found it's not possible for the case to be true.
Removing the false condition from the statement won't prevent this.

I believe you probably didn't understand what TexasRockbox meant: what he suggests (or at least that's what I tried on a couple themes, and it works) is removing the conditional, and making the theme behave always like there's album art present; in that way, the problem will only be noticed by the fact that the album art will only be displayed after the said delay; the text etc would not be re aligned. That's a fair solution if in fact there always is album art present... because when there isn't, the theme will not look good.

Yes, well...that is indeed an option, though I wasn't looking at it that way, as assuming that there will always be AA present is an unbelievably broken way of "fixing" this issue.

Granted, if you're going publish the WPS then you have to account for the possibility of not having artwork. But if it's for your own use, who cares?
