I would perhaps have rounded corners. Perhaps (plugin / ui / additional ) buttons not related to play/pause/next etc. could be placed after or before the volume? Make another "module" below the progress bar(/module) with search/ (all/artists/albums/titles)/toggle browser.

With my "module" / toolbar(s) solution, a button to toggle artist/album/etc could be added before or after "volume"-button. > > The mockup can be viewed here - > http://img367.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rhythmboxmockup4ln0.png ( Despite being rubbish in GIMP, I could try to mock this idea, if that is necessary/ my explanation causes confution. ) Regards, Mats _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
