NOoooo!!! :)) I know we are not reporting bugs for Amarok pre-alpha, but this are some queestions about the overall look of Amarok and maybe some way ´average´ users might help.<br><br>1. Overall look- I know that with Qt4.4
things will change, but I was wondering if you will have movable dockers. I saw in the Google presentation someone else aske this. They currently exits on most Kde 4 apps liek Dolphin, Kword, Krita. I think koffice calls themdockers and dolphin dockers. For examplein Dolphin you can click f11 and it brings the information panel. next tot eh close or x there is a diamon shape button that when click it detaches the panel and it can be place on the right , left or bottom. The same thing happens on krtia or Kword where I can take a panel or docker on their view menu and place it wherever I want. Also by placing more dockers or panles on the same spot I get taba at the bottom. So if you make make use of this in amarok2 it would be possible to allow dockers for each of the 3 panels that are there now and allow the user to place them in different areas. It woul make it possible ot hide a panel and only use two panels for those that dont want the context view. If you really take it far you could create dockers for collections, playlist,files, internet, device sand allow the users to costumize the UI to whatever they wanted. It also keeps a consiste look and ´ability´ across KDE.
<br><br>2. The context view- I really like the idea of having plasma and it opens a wolrd of possibilities. I am wondering if you have thought about letting things like cover blign become plasmoids. As far as I undertand plasma at some point in time should let user create plasmoid using things like Ruby, Python and things like Javascript. I don´t know if it spossible, but I can create a cover like in my webpages using java script or evne better there are tons of bsd or gpl cover flow type things all over the internet using javascript (prototype,sciptalicius, mootols,etc) I don;t know how feasible it would be to create a javascript plasmoid and connecte it to the collection to create a cover bling plasmoid that could use drag and drop to the currently playing or playlit pane. I think that this would create the possibility of creating a last fm plasmoid, or other services. I don;t know if this is feaseble or the direction you are taking, but it is just a thought since Leo metione that he had no clear idea yet what the context view shoudl be about. this will also allow non-coders to cotribute; jsut image how many versions and variation of cover bling we could create if this was possible. I don;t know if we can create plasmoid using jave script, if we do I soulc work on one just to show U all what I men.
<br><br>Overall I like wher eyou guys are going and would like toe xpress my thansk tot eh whole team that has given us a great player and its making it just rock with the 2.0 player. <br> I am not subscribed to the list, so make sure you cc me if you have any comments.
