[Rhythmbox-devel] User Interface proposals

[Ronan Jouchet <ronan jouchet fr>]

Hello Rhythmboxers,

I just switched to RB 2.95 and love it, but I was disappointed to see 
the UI remained largely unchanged since 0.x. Then, one line of the NEWS 
file intrigued me: "First steps in redesigning some parts of the UI that 
sorely need it".

Which made me think that now could be a good moment to make a few UI 
proposals, since there seem to be some momentum. I summed up these 
proposals in a wiki page:
https://live.gnome.org/Rhythmbox/UserInterfaceReworkProposals

I guess some of these proposals were already discussed, and maybe a few 
of them have entries in Bugzilla. That's OK, feel free to edit the page 
(or point me here to the discussion / results of the discussion and I'll 
update it). Of course, if you have other ideas about the interface, just 
add them to the wiki page.
Once I have some feedback here I'll file the bugs considered relevant 
into Bugzilla.

Finally, as mentioned in the page, I'm trying to implement a few of my 
proposals, but am still very new to both C and the Rhythmbox codebase, 
so please consider this as a humble proposal without any commitment to 
future patches. While my proposals are not working patches, I hope they 
can help to bring Rhythmbox forward :)

Thanks for your attention, and thanks for already making 2.9 rock!
Good day.
