Displaying "stop"... and other (unnecessary?) images

<< < (3/4) > >>

karashata:
I thought sometime back that it used to show when it was stopped, but people had decided that it didn't really make sense to have it show when music isn't being played, so they had it return to the file browser or database upon stopping playback...

LinusN:
That is correct. That was however a looooooooong time ago. :)

karashata:
I'm not against having the WPS remain displayed upon stopping playback (I've made images to indicate stopped playback for my themes, so it would be nice for them to have a purpose), however, I'm not exactly certain what the benefit to it would be.  I'm sure someone will be able to justify having the WPS remain displayed for some purpose or another after playback is stopped, and I may end up agreeing with that reason, but for now, I can't think of one.

Llorean:
The  trick isn't that it's necessarily "the WPS will still display" so much as "with one of the ideas being played with, themes will have an option for displaying PART of the WPS as a status-bar for the menus"

karashata:
Ohhh...  well, *that* makes a little more sense, and should be rather nice.  I feel I must ask, though.  Is the intention that the status bar will still be displayed at the top of the screen, or will it be able to be displayed at the bottom as well, or even possibly split over both the top and bottom at once?  I've seen a lot of nice themes that have the "status bar" part of the WPS at the bottom of the screen with maybe only the battery, hold, and virtual LED on a small bar at the top, as well as some that have everything at the bottom, in addition to the somewhat limited number that actually put all of the status info at the top.
