Haha sorry to trash your hard work. But ALL the themes once implemented are too slow for me bar the stock ones, and they look terrible. I went through all this with earlier firmwares and Joeys work, no doubt I will end up there again 
As far as my coding skilss go, yeah its hack and bash, but the images you see half drawn do draw correctly once the pictures stop moving, I think its more to do with buffers/memory or a setting somewhere. Or as I am guessing you mean I have to increase the size of the no cover art, which is strange as this seems to have scaled up to suit when a cover is not there.
Yes I concur, I was going to fix the smaller things later
