Is it just me or does the Now Playing screensaver behave differently than when it did during beta testing?

On my SB2 and Transporter I use Spectrum Analyzer and Elapsed Time. This gives a nice progress bar with the spectrum analyzer in the background.

I can recall seeing this on Boom during beta testing, albeit with a tiny but useful progress bar.

However now (7.2.1 - 23240) I don't see the spectrum analyzer, perhaps because the display is too dark in auto brightness mode, and I definitely don't see the progress bar, just an elapsed time reading.

The progress bar, in particular, is very useful as it tells you at a glance how much of the song remains. I switched to remaining time.

Am I not remembering things right or was there a functional spectrum analyzer in the background and a little progress bar at one time?

That is what I remember using. I think that I changed it recently and picked something different - perhaps because I couldn't find that layout anymore... I remember checking several different ones.

Could it be that the option is not supposed to show up for a Boom? I've seen it where drop-down lists hold onto old values after the server options are changed.

I'll try clearing my browser cache and see if the option disappears.
