You talked (in comments I snipped) about presentation mode
for presentations and movies, which I totally agree with.
But what about music presentation mode? I have speakers
in my house outside my office. Sometimes, I play music
to listen to around the house, especially during parties
and such. The music is clearly the most important thing,
even though my screen is locked.
