Fullscreen-Interface and Amarok 2.0

["Lorenz Röhrl"]

Hi

There are some kind of Signals in Amarok. Check the notifications-section in 
the wiki: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Script-Writing_HowTo#Notifications

And i think, this should not be included by default. There maybe a huge 
demand, but when do you need such a thing?
Most people probably run amarok in tray and open it from time to time. The 
amount of people, using this fullscreen-mode (ie for a party) is quite low.

Cu
hurra
