I fixed this with a userscript in the Tampermonkey chrome extension. 1. Get Tampermonkey 2. Click the extension and "Create a new script" 3. Paste the following into the new script file: // ==UserScript==
// @Name Pandora now Playing
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 0.1
// @description try to take over the world!
// @author You
// @match https://www.pandora.com/station/play/210184843936399976
// @Icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=pandora.com
// @Grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
function addGlobalStyle(css) {
var head, style;
head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
if (!head) { return; }
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = css;
head.appendChild(style);
}
addGlobalStyle( '.NowPlaying__centerWrapper, .nowPlayingTopInfo, .nowPlayingTopInfo__coverGroup, .nowPlayingTopInfo__current__inner, .nowPlayingTopInfo__current { max-width: 100% !important; width: 100% !important; }' );
addGlobalStyle( '.nowPlayingTopInfo__current__trackName, .nowPlayingTopInfo__current__row2 { line-height: 130% !important; font-size: 1 !important; font-size: 250% !important; overflow: visible !important; max-width: 100% !important; width: 100% !important; }' );
addGlobalStyle( '.nowPlayingTopInfo__current__albumName, .NowPlayingTopInfo__current__artistName { line-height: 130% !important; font-size: 1 !important; font-size: 100% !important; overflow: visible !important; max-width: 80% !important; width: 80% !important; }' );
addGlobalStyle( '.nowPlayingTopInfo__coverGroup { margin-bottom:20% !important; }' );
})(); 4. On line 7 of this code snippet change the URL to your station URL, and add a @match entry for any other stations you want to add (this is the annoying part). 5. Save the userscript file and open/refresh Pandora. All this does is make the song title, band, and album text larger and less cramped. I'm not a coder, there's probably a more streamlined way, but this worked for me to not have to walk across the room to see what's playing despite having an enormous screen. It really is a waste of space and the text info we want to see is literally smaller than the menu options. Come on Pandora, give us a Now Playing screen that actually tells us WHAT'S PLAYING. Sheesh.
