Roon needs an entropy based crop (or a “Smart Crop”) for displaying images. See attached screenshots from my overview page.
I know that for Javascript and PHP there are a lot of libraries with this functionality (example: https://github.com/jwagner/smartcrop.js/ ).

Bumping this issue with new examples…

Have to admit i don’t use the feature because of this crop issue. It’s never enticed me to click through anywhere.
I think the issue is exacerbated because you have Roon in Landscape mode. Resize the window to portrait, and the faces become auto-centred.
I suspect that the designers like to use iPads in Portrait mode, rather than laptops…

That’s not possible - at least not on MacOS. Even if I do bring Roon into windowed mode on my Retina Macbook the Discover screen’s ratios won’t change enough to have a noteworthy effect on problematic pictures (foreheads or bald heads, it doesn’t seem to matter):
At the smallest possible window size:
The window enlarged:
So more responsiveness would surely help here …
That’s unfortunate. Windows would appear to be more flexible in this respect then.
… hopefully the future solution to this will not be having to switch to windows.
And I like to use Roon in full screen mode on my laptop, it looks rather nice most of the time.
Oh g’waan - go over to the Dark Side
Been there (from 3 to 8), I think I had enough.

I’m a graphic and user interface designer, to me that sounds like a lazy (read: crazy) design decision…
It was meant as a joke - I should have added the smiley…

It works exactly the same on macOS.

that’s what I later thought… sorry.
‘Hats Of Roon’ could be a whole new thread…

Sorry, people, but what you see is a mirage.
This has been fixed, and is working as intended. Go about your business. Nothing to see here.
