Install Glade (GTK UI Editor) and try to modify the .ui files in /usr/share/rhythmbox. > 2.

I doubt some kind of "eye-candy" would be accepted by the devs. Rhythmbox is definitely designed to the functional, user-friendly and accessible, following the GNOME principles, rather than providing useless eye-candy. But you're right that there is some wasted space, especially if you have a widescreen. In my opinion the seek bar and the label showing the playing track could be integrated into the toolbar - optional, of course, because RB should also work on smaller screens. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
