QCustomCoverCard
An album / song COVER card.
A rounded album-art tile: the cover image fills a rounded rectangle
(centre-cropped, KeepAspectRatioByExpanding), a bottom gradient SCRIM
darkens the lower third, and a bold TITLE over a muted ARTIST sit at the
bottom-left. A translucent circular PLAY badge fades in on hover (or is
pinned on with showPlay). Everything is painted with QPainter so it stays
crisp at any size and recolours on a theme switch (all colours are
qproperties). When no coverPath is set it paints a two-stop gradient from
accentColor so it still previews in Designer / render_widget.
It is a QAbstractButton, so it emits clicked() — drop it in a "Popular
songs" / "Recently played" row or a coverflow. Give it title, artist
and coverPath in code or Qt Designer.
