My longer goal plan is a complete new UI for the PodcastCategory. Then
we'll show artwork for each episode and possibly the subtitle as well.
I'll blog about those plans today.
With the Amarok 1.4 style UI the old icons work very well, if artwork
is included there is no room for it anymore though. So for consistency
with other podcast-fetchers I would prefer to use those colored dots.
That color will be based on the theme BTW, just like the rest of the
PodcastCategory.
