I'm familiar with that mockup, I brought it up a few months ago on IRC
and it wasn't accepted well, mostly because of the tightly integrated
video player feature - note that the title says "media player" and not
"music player".
I like it very much, it could work for Amarok. As some of you might
know I'm not really a fan of the PUD or of the three-column view, I
find it redundant and cluttered. This mockup explores the possibility
of switching between context view and collection like in Amarok 1.4,
but provides a lot of space for the context view while keeping the
collection good looking on such a wide area. The nested
horizontal+vertical tab bars need to be uncluttered though.
But as we agreed during that brief discussion a few months ago, we
don't need artists who throw a mockup and vanish, someone should do
the hard work. A detailed proposal is needed.
