The tui is not extending over the complete terminal window, leaving a lot of space empty.

That space at the bottom is meant for the playbar. When nothing is playing, the playbar doesn't render.
I keep meaning to address this.

Even with the playbar there is a lot of unused space:

I second this. I don't tend to have terminals any bigger than 1/4 of the screen (tiling window manager...) and spotify-tui doesn't make the most of the space available. I can only fit 11 tracks on screen that way. having 2 whole rows of padding at the top and bottom seems excessive!

As a quick fix, I could remove the margin entirely?

looks awesome to me! I can see how fullscreen you might want a small margin but that could be a job for later? :)
