[Rhythmbox-devel] Idea for new progress slider

["Martin Jeppesen" <d2xdt2 gmail com>]

Hi,

The current slider takes up a lot of space in the UI, so here is an
idea for a new slider I think that have more benefits than the
current.

The new slider idea can be summerized to:

* The slider does not move as the song progresses.
* It is always positioned in the center.
* The center of the slider takes the value where the song is right now.

Why this idea?

The current slider is good for long songs because it is easier to
trace the position that one wishes, but it takes up a lot of space.

The new slider that could e.g. be only 100 pixels wide is high
resolution so to speak, because it is always centered to the current
position. This will give a very high resolution when the user wants to
change position regardless of how long the song is.

What do you think?
