How can I let show album covers in full hight in the background?

I am using itunes version 12.10.11 on Windows 8.1. What I am asking for did already happen by accident. Now I want it to happen again!

Windows, Windows 6

I think what you mean is to display the Now Playing with artwork, and the top of the Up Next list, as shown below:

If so, to change the full size screen into the one shown, tap the artwork in the Now Playing panel:

Tapping the very small x in the upper right corner of the panel will re-open the full iTunes window.

If that is not what you men, please provide more information about what you're looking for.

One point; I'm using iTunes 12.13.7.1, which is the most up to date version. I am assuming that the same option exists in the version you are using. However, note that since you are using Windows 8.1 you will not be able to update to that latest version. The version you're using is the latest version for Windows 8.1

Thanks for your contribution. (Besides: a phantastic graphic). As I understand it is displayed in the predefined size of the miniplayer popup window. Meantime I could reconstruct what I saw. Somewhere in the Library I have a m4v file stored in addition to m4a. When I want to play it, a video appears in the background. After this, whenever I play an audio title, its album cover shows up in the background albeit in reduced quality. I am not knowing enough how it exactly worked, maybe there is a direct way in the settings for achieving it.
