Mockups and UI ideas

[Diego Gangl]

Hey, thanks for the comments guys.

About the volume slider: the main concern was to make more room for the other buttons but there's plenty of space actually. One thing I'd still change is to make a bit smaller.

That would be awesome, hiding the playlist was one of the often requested features after 0.1.

Think I'll start with the visual playerbar changes first. I should have them done soon-ish.
I'm wondering if the responsive stuff would require Kirigami or something, or can we do it with vanilla QML?

Likewise, I got pumped after seeing all the patches you were sending in my inbox :)

Cheers!
