My idea for a better solution would be a button in one of the corners of the visualization itself, as seen in the attached mockup. Clicking the button would pop up a context menu that has the same options as the hover toolbar currently. This would not only save space, but prevent the (quite distracting) jumping around of the visualization, as the hover toolbar resizes the canvas instead of appearing over it (like for example the seekbar in a fullscreen Totem).
Optionally, the Options button could fade in and out as the mouse cursor hovers over the visualization. I realize that the current implementation might not allow for an alpha- blended smoothly animated button, or would take too much time to add, but even then, a single button for settings that are probably not changed too often would be a way better solution than a large toolbar. ** Attachment added: "Mockup for alternative solution to visualization settings widget" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40045477/Rhythmbox-Vis-Settings-mockup.png ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Rhythmbox visualization popup toolbar defines window's minimum width https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279302 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
