| Summary | 0016478: MiniPlayer: Visual tweaks | ||||
| Description | There are a couple of minor issues with the mini-player that can be improved (note: I've only tested this with the Material Dark skin): 1) When the Now Playing list is disabled, the bottom right/left corners aren't transparent. 2) The 'Now Playing' icon should be changed to a 'list' icon 3) The metadata in the Player isn't left-aligned with the Stars/Seekbar 4) When the Artists & Title of a track is long, there's no way to see the full metadata + time remaining because: a) they're all displayed on a single row b) the width of the miniplayer can't be adjusted I'm not sure of what the easiest way to resolve this is, but some possibilities: a)i) Use a slightly smaller font ii) place the time indicator to the right & left of the seekbar in a tiny font iii) truncate the Artist(s) list (show only the first Artist + '...') so that the Title isn't obscured as much e.g. Hannah Trigwell; Ebony Day - Hold on We're Going Home [Drake] --> Hannah Trigwell...; Hold on We're Going Home [Drake] OR iv) Use a two-line approach for the metadata e.g. Title . . . . . . . (<time>) Artist(s) b) Allow the width to be adjusted I suspect that ai + aii + aiii + b would solve most cases (and avoid the complexities of aiv). | ||||

Verified most of the above in 2239 (only tested MD Dark skin). A couple of items remain: 3) Left-alignment of metadata is correct in most cases, but: a) If the Artist-Title is short, then the Time/Maximize button/Close button aren't right-aligned b) If the Artist-Title is long, then the text scrolls beyond the left margin (it goes right up to the Album art) 5) This is a nice-to-have: on hover of the buttons, it would be preferable if the 'square' around the button didn't become highlighted, but rather just the button itself would. If not trivial, then I'll create a new bug for 5.0.1. |

Tested 2240. Everything looks good--just one more issue: 6) The first time after installation that the user clicks the Now Playing button in the miniplayer, the list opens up empty! |
