[REQ] Enhance layout options of UI [#18019]

Post by allwi »

Hi,

not sure, if this is the right forum or if I should post it in 'Wishlist (mmw)'

I had the layout of MM4 in the way that the 'Now playing' window was at the bottom of the screen, i.e. between the player and the main library folder view. So basically my layout was like this

Code: Select all

+--------+--------------------------------------+
|        |                                      |
|        |                                      |
| Media  |      Main album /                    |
|  tree  |           library view               |
|        |                                      |
|        |                                      |
+--------+--------------------------------------+
| Monkey |  Now Playing                | Monkey |
|  flow  |                             |  rok   |
|        |                             |        |
+--------+-----------------------------+--------+
|                   Player                      |
+-----------------------------------------------+
This layout allows to show (and see) multiple information in the 'Now Playing' window about the tracks like name, artist, album but also rating, playcount and previous last play date.

MM5 only allows to have the 'Now Playing' window in a side panel. This allows to see a longer list but not so much information about the songs (without scrolling). Even the song name is often not visible in full.

My feature request is to allow the 'Now Playing' window to be displayed in the 'Main panel (bottom)' or the 'Bottom Panel'.
When I try to add this window to these panels in MM5.0.2.2531, I see a 'forbidden' mouse cursor.

Same - I had to remove now playing as there was nowhere for it to go. I hope they allow it to be moved to the bottom again.
