Hello, steve1k.

You can manually edit the appropriate G-Force preference file to set the size limit for displaying album art in G-Force (WMP). Though, keep in mind that this will only increase the limit that G-Force will display the album art and will not stretch any smaller images to fill the height and width that you set. In other words, if the image you use for the album art for one of your albums is 200 pixels x 200 pixels and you set G-Force to have a limit of 600px x 600px, the image will still only display at 200px x 200px. In order to get this smaller image to appear larger you will need to increase the dimensions of this album art image with your own image editing program or find a new image with larger dimensions and paste it in.

On Windows XP, navigate here:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\

On Windows Vista / Windows 7, navigate here:
C:\Users\USER_NAME\App Data\Roaming\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\

(Replace "USER_NAME" with your Windows User Account name. You may also need to "show hidden files and folders" in order to navigate to this folder.)

Open the file "Preferences (Windows Media Player).txt" in any text editor (eg. Notepad). Look for the values labeled "CoverArt.SizeLimit.Height" and "CoverArt.SizeLimit.Width" and adjust the values to the pixel size you like. Save this file and restart G-Force in Windows Media Player.
