Title: "Redesigned playback display system" 2 Thumbs down :(
Post by: park on January 14, 2005, 08:45:48 pm

 Hi,

Regarding the visualization part of Playing Now:

I find it difficult to see what benefit the new design brings.  Including the last big change to the window, we now have to shift click on the "windowed view" to be able to still see the library and right click in the bottom bar to get the list of all the different kinds of visualisations.
There is no way on earth that normal people would accidentally stumble onto the way to do these things. And I think they are key features of the window.

I recommend a small icon to the left of the left/right arrows, which brings up that pull down menu with the list of different visualisations.

And, another small icon inbetween "windowed view" and "full screen view" called something like "Windowed view over library" or "semi windowed view" or something.

Really, I just dont get how the hiding of these features can  be considered in any way progress.

I'd like to hear others opinions.
