Thanks by your support and prompt response.
I tried to install the Contemporary_Advanced plugin. However, I received an error of No matching version - no installation possible!
I used this link to copy the file:
wget https://github.com/2aCD-creator/volumio-plugins/raw/gh-pages/plugins/volumio/armhf/miscellanea/contemporary_advanced/contemporary_advanced.zip
Did I make some mistake?

we have to wait for a bug fix in the skins before we can update it again.
there seems a bug of in classic or contemporary so that we have to wait till the next release.

Hi guys, instead of contemporary plugin on volumio 3 I recommend and prefer “now playing” plugin (which is default plugin). You can use your own background or track cover as background. It is easy to configure by clicking settings and has various options (blur, fade etc). Here you go, how it can looks on volumio3.
Thanks, I couldn’t find this topic.
Hi, very nice DIY streamer. I have one too, I would like change my basic display with this wide color one. Is possible from your side to send me code for change UI to fit this LCD. Thank you. I tried to find it on recommended a2CD project, but without result.
Hi, of course I’ll try to help, but first please give me info about volumio version You use.
I am trying to apply the Now Playing Plugin.
However as a newbie, I am having bad results. For sure I am doing something wrong,
Issues verified.
a) I can only see the Now Playing 0.1.4. When I tried to uninstall and install again later, I could not see the 0.1.4 version.
b) My display resolution is 1920x480. I could not see this resolution to select.
c) Is it necessary to run the Touch Display plugin and then the Now Playing.
Any help?

Hi,
I could make it work. It was necessary to edit the userconfig file with @lausiv settings.
Thanks @lausiv and @patrickkfkan by the nice work.

Hi,
The setup needs refinement. Currently, this is the initial screenshot.

Now Playing - 0.1.3

Ok I quess you almost manage all settings. Now you have to center text and it’s size. I hope you achieve current results by manipulating now plaiyng settings, not by modifying files. If so, what result you would like to achieve.
It played with the settings today and I think that I found a good configuration to start.
Now it is time to focus on the case and a new power supply for the project.
Thank you very much by your support and hints. QJA
Good to see and read that another happy user did great job 
congrats and good luck with case. When it’ll be finished, please show some photos here.
Hi @lausiv,
I have found this display, this is like yours?
RON 191.18 35%OFF | raspberry pi Aida 64 display 8.8 inch 1920x480 IPS LCD screen with 60Hz Driver board original brand new
Ps. Only the display is 39 Euro… I have thought that also the controller and display is 39…
Thanks
Hi, without board it’s useless. So you have to choose most expensive option/full set. Btw. It’s still great price.
