ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!
Llorean:
The simulators should compile and work on the mac just fine.
yapper:
One possible way to include a numeric volume indication without drastically altering the design would be to alternate the playlist position and the volume, centred beneath the progress bar, e.g.:
--- Code: ---%al %pc%ac%pp of %pe%ar%pr ;%al %pc%ac%pvdB%ar%pr
--- End code ---
Llorean:
Why not alternate the "Repeat" and "Shuffle" icons to free up more space then? Maybe even "Repeat" "Shuffle" and "Play/Pause"? Surely these three, unlike volume, represent things that a user doesn't need explicit feedback on. Changing Shuffle and Repeat modes is done via a menu that shows you your option, so you know what you've set it to anyway at the time, and don't need precise details or fine grained adjustment. And Play/Pause you can hear, as i said before.
Meanwhile with volume, especially with controls like the scrollwheel rather than discrete controls like the buttons on the side of the Gigabeat, it could be quite frustrating to have the explicit volume display disappear every few seconds.
crzyboyster:
Well, some people don't approve of alternating sublines, but of course, you could potentially squeeze anything into an alternating subline.
yapper:
Freeing up space isn't the real problem, more that the numeric volume is restricted to appearing on one of the "text lines", rather than being a graphic. The graphics on the greyscale port use what would equate to text lines 10 and 10.5. I briefly experimented with dropping the numeric volume in the space currently occupied by the graphic volume, but it sits too high. Of course, altering the font size might allow a better fit, but would also mean other correction being needed.
Another alternative is to leave the volume as a graphic, and use the Context menu to access the Volume menu in all it's numeric glory when a precise volume setting is needed.
