Re: [Banshee-List] UI Tweaking

[jdk_ <jdcaycedoc gmail com>]

This is another suggestion about the UI and use of screen space, so I'm
adding it here.

I think it would make sense to remove the bar at the bottom showing the
length of a playlist and the repeat button.  I think the repeat button could
be moved to the top part, probably next to the shuffle button, and the
length of the playlist could be included in the area containing the list of
tracks in the playlist, say a simple line of gray text at the bottom or top
of that area.

I use banshee in a small and wide screen (10.1'), as more and more people
lately, and having one horizontal bar less would be great.
