That's the big thing that you lose with the current version of the patch: the ability to see what the play order is with a glance. > I'm not sure what way there is around this though because it would > probably be impossible to come up with sufficiently informative icons > to display. I think it would be hard to come up with meaningful icons to differentiate "shuffle", "random", "random-by-age", "random-by-rating" and "random-by-age-and-rating"; and it will get much harder if more play orders are added. > The only other solution I can think of is to switch the icon you had in > the toolbar into the text of the currently selected play order; see > http://img421.imageshack.us/img421/8341/rhythmboxplayorder2kn.jpg for > a mock-up. That works fine, the only issue is that it takes up a lot more space. On Mon, 2006-04-17 at 03:30 +0200, Martin Jeppesen wrote: > The statusbar might be the right place for this? Putting the current play order in the status bar would also work, but does lead to a disconnect between where it is shown (statubar) and chosen (toolbar).
