Why do I get the feeling you are not saying what you are actually thinking…

Hi,
thanks a lot the great GUI changes. I especially like the idea to place the control buttons as far away from the playlist as possible. The big empty area in the middle is also a fantastic idea. Exactly, what you need, when you just want to manage your playlist, while working on something else. And moving the kontextbrowser from a tab to an own column is outrightous brillant, i always felt, i need to have it in view, while managing the collection and vice versa. And if i want to see only on of them, window-resizing is a lot faster than changing tabs, isn’t it?

So thanks a lot, you are on the right track

@Lydia: The problem is that I don’t know how to do it work…

It doesn’t play any video of the current track automatically, and I don’t find any way to look for a video…

In any case thank you very much for your support and thanks to all the amarok team!!!

@Poldark: Try playing a video. I have not used it myself yet but it should just work.

@Lydia: Thank you very much! Much better now

Let me ask another question… I click on the video player applet and it show a blank screen and nothing more…

Do I need to install anything else? any program?

I have a suggestion: Sometimes I like to sit on my chair and watch the analyzer of Amarok 1.4. So this is something I realy miss in Amarok 2. Please add an analyzer. Maybe you can put it over the progressbar.

@Markus: I feel same sometimes. I like the look of right playlist, but I dont like that I cant remove the middle part what I dont need. By some reason the left panels include all kind buttons and other clutter what makes Amarok2 harder to use than they were on first Amarok. I have version of Amarok2 just before the first beta, what I’m about to install today.

What I dont understand is that position slider does not follow KDE themes, by coloring. But hopefully it is easyli themed. And what was about those red arrows when you moved mouse over the middle section? Was is a try to do samekind plasma “desktop” than KDE4 has? I’m glad it was removed (or someway it’s disabled on me )

I hope that control view gets new themes soon. I liked the Alpha versions position, volume and play-control buttons. I hope too that Amarok2 will get a menu hiding option because now it looks very ugly when it has so big space just for a few menu entries. Is there a plan to include the menu hiding support? It makes kopete, dolphin, konqueror, K3b, Kaffeine and many other application so usefull when menu can be hided after all settings has done, so the application is very easy to use.

@Poldark: You need to copy your settings from ~/.kde4 to ~/amarok-nightly
Since Neon is sandboxed the usual KDE settings are not available to it if you don’t copy it there.
