I agree the current design<br>still needs (a lot of) improvement, but I hope that the extra space for the<br>playlist is kept.</blockquote><div><br>Having lurked much on this list, I would like to come out of the shadows again briefly to opine. In lieu of having all of this debate,
<br>as some really like the new interface whilst others, including myself, dislike it, have an option, as you do for the icon-scheme, for going back to the original layout. This would give back the familiar, more usefull and more aethetically pleasing
<br>Amarok we know and love to those who think this so. Simultaneously, the ones who appreciate the newer version can see the<br>developer's work in progress and enjoy the new look. Eventually, when the new look has been perfected, use the new look as
<br>standard or remove the option all-together and have the new look as the only look. Therefore, all are happy and the developers continue to get feedback. Just like the <br>icon-set. I understand this would bloat some what the source code: If one is getting it from svn, I doubt any one will care much. From a
<br>binary or source-code-only... well, they'll have to put up with a slightly bigger file. Seems to me it isn't horribly un-feasible. And, it would certainly make many happy.<br>Some one has already suggested this, methinks. I wish to second the notion.
