How to keep 'no artwork' conditional viewport from briefly appearing?

Nobody is looking for a mathematical proof. Only saying that it's just as easy (and equally valid) to assume the opposite condition until you actually know which is which.

But you don't want to always show artwork. If indeed there is no image then you want to maximize the space used for the text display.

That's a possibility, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Sure that's possible, but is it better? That would have exactly the same issue for tracks without AA
Yotto:
I have AA for a lot of my music, but far from all. I don't think I'm in a minority on that second point. Having some funky flash of a blank viewscreen before the alternate information (which I always have in place of AA) would really annoy me when AA wasn't present.
In fact, it would be worse than the situation now, because the non-AA screen in my themes always has something on it to look at. Why have a huge chunk of the screen be totally blank for a second or two?
TexasRockbox:
Why not check for the existence of Album Art before displaying anything? That is, keep the previous WPS. Of course that change will affect the overall responsiveness of displaying the WPS.
Or....
The themes are editable. If you're like me and use album art, I just delete the "no-album art" code from the theme, problem solved.

That might be the best approach. The only problem with it is that I find that Rockbox misses a fair number of covers for some reason. Not a large number, but it's definitely an issue.
