Hi guys,<BR>
<BR>
Well, as far as I'm concerned, my contribution will remain <I>very limited </I>unfortunately.<BR>
My work on the bling applet was mostly to integrate the already existing pictureflow code & add up icons & stuff to fit nicely into amarok.<BR>
In other words, I am not a developper, I haven't got that much free time (which doesn't mean I'm not willing to contribute occasionally of course) & I don't feel like starting all over again...<BR>
the CD racks concept is nice, sure<BR>
although I'm not that convinced that it wouldn't fall under Apple patent<BR>
Additional question :<BR>
I've read some positive comments on the bling applet so I still kind' a think this will be such a waste to trash the whole thing...are we sure we've studied the patent problem enough (and potential by pass, like I already mentionned, optional (build time ?) applet or add on)<BR>

Some guy made a nice mockup of the "CD Stack" idea, you can see it here:

That said, if we take into account that the applet has serious
technical issues too, I kinda doubt that we could finish it in time:
