[Rhythmbox-devel] Widget Request

["John McHugh" <tretle gmail com>]

I was wondering if anyone would be up to the task of creating a new widget. GTK_Bottom doesn't seem to be the best way of displaying plugins like the last rhythm.

There is a mockup of the widget created here

Maybe it could be called gtk_bottom_right. This would come in handy for plugin writers to create a ui to interact with the currently playing track. Another thing it would be handy for is playlists and mp3 players. Currently in rhythmbox if you are dragging a music file over to the sources widget and keep it hovered over a selection for a few seconds it opens up the selection.
If this new widget were created the music on the mp3 player could be loaded in it instead allowing you to see the tracks on the mp3 player while flicking through your library to figure out what to put on it.
The same goes for playlists.

So you could use this widgets to preview content and interact with currently playing tracks(lastrhythm).
