Any plans for a "slider" progress bar?
MrMEC:
Works fine on iAudio X5...
(Stands on soap box)
I REALLY wish some of you guys would try to better understand the importance of design. Not disrespecting the hard work you guys put into Rockbox, and I love my Rockboxed X5 to death, but I'm a designer by trade and it's frustrating to constantly hear the potshots you guys give to anything design-related. I personally don't feel good design is at all "useless eye candy," it's an important attention-grabbing element that many people appreciate.
To me, one of the biggest draws of Rockbox is the flexibility in designing WPS's (and I've designed several). Though trivial to you, improvements such as this "useless" slider patch can only make a better Rockbox, which is all we want!
Yotto:
While I too would like this slider bar, I would much prefer longer battery life on my iPod. I'm all for eye candy (I use Senab's build because I love Album Art) but usability *has* to go first.
Llorean:
Nobody said design was unimportant. All Febs said was that other things are more critical. If you think eye-candy is more critical than actual functionality working properly then you've got some misguided priorities. The prettiest interface in the world will fail if any time you try to use it it crashes, or if it's unable to perform its intended functional purpose.
NicolasP:
Not all developers work on the top priority issues, even though everybody agrees on them being top priority. So some have time to work on "eye-candy". Where's the problem ?
I don't see why some people seem to want the development to be split up between functionality and design, as if it wasn't possible to do both at the same time.
Febs:
I have nothing whatsoever against improving the design elements of Rockbox. I reacted to the comment that this design element should have been in Rockbox "from the get go," which is unrealistic. I regret that my sarcastic remark has deflected this thread off-topic.
