+### Cover Drawing
+
+When compiled with the `cover` feature, `ncspot` can draw the album art of the current track in a dedicated view (`:focus cover` or `F8` by default) using [Überzug](https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug). For more information on installation and terminal compatibility, consult that repository.
+
+To allow scaling the album art up beyond its resolution (640x640 for Spotify covers), use the config key `cover_max_scale`. This is especially useful for HiDPI displays:
+
+```
+cover_max_scale = 2
+```
