Shall I commit after applying your comments?

Thanks a lot for the bitwise OR explanation. Your 2 paragraphs explained it better than reading a whole wiki article about it! I sure wish I could follow one of your c++/qt courses. I am happy that you all convinced me to just get going instead of working alone on a useless project and trying to solve problems alone. Learning by doing TM. :-)

The next patch will add a few animations here and there and use the new Plasma::Animations system. It will cover the medialyout class.

> I decided to put the browsing control button (goPrevious) back into the browser, along with the tabbar. The tabbar can be used to change viewmodes later, e.g. by Artist, by Album, by Tag,...I have added an API that can be used to add pages to the tabbar. The states handle the adding of pages on entry. (Later we can add the connection between the tabbar and the modelpackage/dataengines of the browser).

> Video Mode: When entering the videomode and clicking on play (with a video in the playlist) the videoplayer covers only half of the screen. When the video is stopped and again play is pressed, the videoplayer size is correct. Also, when I ply via the playlist (clicking on the item in the playlist) the videoplayer size is always correct?
> Picture mode: I do not understand how to correctly position the widgets in the bottom bar. They are at the wrong position on state entry but as soon as I change a picture, they jump to the correct positions. Switching to the floating mode makes the widgets be a wrong positions also :-/
