Is there a method to magnify cover art in a popup window on hover or click with Virtual DJ Script?

Of a Track in Browser ? Just click/select the Track and you ll get the Cover displayed in the Info view of Browser https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/virtualdj/interface/browser/fileinfo.html

Thanks Dad. I've gotten rid of the info Browser pane altogether and replaced it with a permanent display at the bottom of the playlist column Traktor style. I also have the cover art displayed in each deck. What I would like though is a quick method to magnify the cover art to a much larger size so I can see the details clearly without straining my eyes in some cases. I understand if this is not possible. It would be a similar effect to expanding the video player to its own pop up screen. Please see image for an example of what I would like to accomplish. The larger artwork could be a pop up triggered by the right click context menu or a skin button for example.

Use <cover source="browser" /> on your skin window/element.
Then it will show the cover of whichever track is selected on browser.

Hi Phantom. I already have that set up for the small cover at the lower left of my browser. What I would like to do is spawn a pop up with a larger version of the cover art. Please see the attached image I posted earlier for an example. As of now this is not possible and the large cover art at the center is just a photoshopped version of what I want to do. Is a pop up window possible for cover art in the similar way you get a pop up video player window when clicking on the video player on a skin?

You can create your own "pop up" windows on any skin and add whatever elements you want inside them.

INCREDIBLE! Thanks for all of your help. I was able to achieve exactly what I intended. My last few questions are:
1) How does Virtual DJ search for cover art?
Can we change the search criteria (artist+album, artist+title etc.) and also change the size that is downloaded? (the images that VDJ cover search returns are extremely tiny (around 100px)
2) How does VDJ scale content in pop-up windows?
For instance when designing a "retina" style image on a website you would upload an image and then render it in a window half the size of the image to get an extra sharp clean image. If I do the same in VDJ: attach an image 1200 Pixels in size and then scale my popup window to 600px the 1200px image still shows up very blurry in the 600px window.
No matter how large of a cover art I attach to my mp3 it shows up blurry when expanded in the pop-up window so something is going on with the scaling and math that VDJ is applying to what's inside these windows.
