Attached is a mockup which builds upon William's idea. I've added 3 variations of the applet to the mockup so specific details can be discussed. Please let me know if you would like to see something in particular. Thanks!<br>

The only constraint is that we are probably going to be in a freeze in about 2 or 3 weeks and it would be better that we implement it before the freeze.</blockquote>
<div><br></div></div>I like the mockup :) the size of the track is a bit large and glaring, but i really like the status bar on bottom over what we have now.l </div><div><br></div><div>the space under the albumcover seems to be wasted, however. maybe we could use it better?<br>
<div><br></div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div class="im">We have also introduced a new feature in the Current Track applet to show both the last played tracks and the favorite ones. For that we used a tab bar and the problem is that its default look doesn't seem to fit. Here is how it looks:<br>

<br>The options would be to change the tab bar aspect by changing its stylesheet or using another more appropriate widget for hiding information. <br><br>I'm looking forward to your suggestions (both artists and usability experts).<br>
