I'm not really sure how this ended up becoming a focal point for tweaking, but here we are..
-=-=-
The new updated PlatAmp (That's the player that opens when you click "Play All" button at the top of this post) now scales to the size of your screen, and has new buttons to pick between a variety of subtle colour themes.
All the themes were crafted by AI, by the way.
Microsoft's CoPilot is infinitely better at designing themes than most of the people who work on Windows nowadays. .. And, honestly, Apple's not doing all that great with their Glass theme thing, so.. Maybe they should ask the AI for tips, too?
The AI also guided me through how I can get the div to scale to the screen size, and then have all the text/buttons/content inside that div similarly scale to the display. Now.. That's some impressive stuff, right there!
Previously I'd've had to have created a canvas to do things like that, but not now!
A scaler-wrapper div that fills the screen, and inside that a scaler-inner div. Plop everything else inside those, and then have a small function that rescales the scaler-inner div to fit the screen, and then adds a "scale" value, using element.style.transform="scale(value)", and magically everything inside the box gets scaled to fit.
That's nice!!!
It's the style.transform bit that does the magic. Previously I'd tried things like that, and it's just resizing the box but nothing in it. Now I can make use of that scale bit, and do all manner of cool stuff.
That's handy.
Thanks, the Evil A.I.

Play my song. Play it long.
Play the tune that I remember.
Play it soft, or Play it strong.
Play from now until December.
[chorus]
Start with the button that is play and pause,
And go forward fast, and backwards.
Stop and eject all the melodies,
And then shuffle the songs in the playlist.
[verse]
Play the song. Play it again.
Play the melodies that last forever.
Play it fast, or Play it slow,
Play the whole thing now or never.
[chorus]
Start with the button that is play and pause,
And go forward fast, and backwards.
Stop and eject all the melodies,
And then shuffle the songs in the playlist.
[bridge]
Pump the volume slider all of the way up to the top.
The music streams continuously and never seems to stop.
There is no equaliser yet, I might just add one later.
But I'd need to do a ton of maths. Would you get me a calculator.
[chorus]
Start with the button that is play and pause,
And go forward fast, and backwards.
Stop and eject all the melodies,
And then shuffle the songs in the playlist.
We should start with the button that is play and pause,
And go forward fast, and backwards.
Stop and eject all the melodies,
And then shuffle the songs, that all play right along, when we sort them all out in the playlist.

Dip-tastrophe
Int. Dave's Games and ScrunchCakes - Kitchen Area
[Dave is proudly demonstrating his new creation. Twelve canisters line the wall, filled with different dips, connected by short runs of garden hose leading to a large mechanical Dip Dispenser. Brian is watching intently.]
Dave: Behold! The future of condiment delivery! I call it the Dip-o-Matic 5000!
Brian: Itโs incredible. So many options! What are they all?
Dave: (Gesturing dramatically) Tomato, Barbecue, Spicy, Extra Spicy, Bolognese, Mustard, Mint and Yoghurt, Raspberry Jam, Mango Chutney and a few surprises!
Brian: I think we need labels.
Dave: Yeah, I asked Greenie to bring us his old Dymo label maker, but he's struggling to find it.
Brian: (Pointing) Is that horseradish?
Dave: Sure is! Now, watch and be amazed. [hitting buttons on the Dip Dispenser] Jam, Ketchup, Chilli Mayo, Spicy Mayo.
[The dispenser makes a series of gurgling noises, accompanied by the whirring of small motors. The four chosen dips are plopped into a plastic Screw Organiser.]
Brian: Wow, it's like magic! So intuitive. No mess, everything contained
[Green walks in, looking exhausted.]
Green: Found it. It was behind the trackball mountain.
Dave: Awesome! Now we can start labelling these suckers up!
Brian: (Staring at the contraption with a mixture of disbelief and horror) It really does look impressive.
Green: It looks like it belongs in a madman's laboratory.
Dave: I *am* that madman!
Brian: But it works! And the Screw Organiser is brilliant!
[Suddenly, a loud spluttering sound erupts from the Dip-o-Matic 5000. A geyser of ketchup erupts, coating Dave and Brian in a sticky mess.]
Dave: Well thatโs not ideal.
Brian: (Wiping ketchup from his face) Mmm, tomato.
Green: (Shaking his head) You know, Iโm starting to think a simple spoon would have been the superior option.
