Hi,

I agree that my new bar does not fit well with activities requiring 
special buttons.

Instead of going again on allowing specific bar location, why not just 
putting these special buttons out of the bar, on any suitable location 
for the given activity. This way they won't be hidden at all and this is 
fine because they are important for this game.

This seems simpler to me and more user friendly as the children have a 
hard time to discover new buttons on the bar.

If we go this way, we may remove 'repeat' from the bar API and let it 
activity specific.

What do you think?

Bruno.
