Question about the kodi music player

Hello guys, I’m using the new Kodi 17 on my Android TV mainly as a music player, everything works well but I was wondering something.
In my case I don’t use any fanart or backdrops I use only cover art. Because of that I get after 15 or so seconds of playing a new song a blank screen because the song info and cover art are minimized.
Is there a way to “force” the on-screen info to be shown at all times along with the cover during playback.I have no problem to thinker around in the xml files, done that before, but i don’t know where to look for this particular case.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
