there are currently quite a few ideas for Amarok's UI design being<br>
brainstormed in the VDG forum [1]. Whether you like them or not is for you to<br>
decide, but for me the worst outcome would be that you said "Oh, there are<br>
very cool ideas here, but unfortunately we cannot make any considerable<br>
changes to the UI with the available resources due to Amarok's code".<br>

My impression is that in Amarok 2 the backend and GUI code are still quite<br>
entangled, making bigger changes to the UI very time-consuming to implement.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Most of amarok is UI, actually.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
