GSoC project: New meta-applets for the Context View

[Kevin Funk]

Hi Amarokers,

my name is Kevin Funk, I'm a Applied Computer Science student at the 
University of Applied Sciences in Zweibrücken (Germany) in my third semester 
now. Some people may already know me from #amarok (Freenode) and/or working on 
Amarok in general (bug fixing, etc.).

So here is my application for the "New meta-applets for the Context View" 
project for GSoC.

Motivation for Proposal / Goal:
Some people may already know that I am not really comfortable with Amarok's 
current visual appearance and I am trying to fix that issue whereever I can. 
And I think improving the Context View is a major step into this direction.

Implementation Details:
I really like the mockup of that guy here [1] and I think its a good start to 
describe what my idea looks like. The right picture in [2] shows the Meta 
applet I'd like to implement.
I know that this means also a refactor of the Context View which I'm going to 
do aswell as a part of this project (I don't really think the current 3-panes-
view is _that_ useful aswell, for different reasons, sorry).

Feedback welcome
