Now playing seekbar for music #11

Closed TechGeek01 closed 2 weeks ago

Describe the solution you'd like The slider at the bottom of the now playing widget thing for volume is nice, but really only needed when adjusting volume. More useful would be a slider that shows the playhead and progress of the song, similar to how the stock firmware handles this, and perhaps only showing the volume slider when changing volume.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll try a couple different designs and see what turns out the best. There isn't a lot of width to work on though, so I guess it wouldn't be too precise

Seeking in a track isn't super necessary for me, though it would be nice to have for completeness. The main thing that would be super helpful is just to be able to see the progress of a song while it plays.

Regarding the space issue, perhaps it may also be possible to make the shortcuts and lock widgets narrower, and the media widget a bit wider, if the user doesn't have a lot of shortcuts, and there's room to do so?

I agree that it would be great to at least see the progress of the current track, so I'll at least implement that. I could also only show the volume slider when the sound is being adjusted as you mentioned to save some space :)

Here's how I've currently implemented it: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dd0272d5-12b8-4f17-8452-c123da745e73

Looks good? Any other feedback? @TechGeek01

I might suggest making the height of that seekbar be the same height as the volume one, just for consistency, but looks good!

Making the right widgets narrower and the media widget wider would also give more room for more precision there, but I also dunno what you have planned that would be affected by shrinking the other widgets.

Looks sick!

The progress bar can't be used to actually seek, I kind of made the seekbar thinner to indicate that. I'm planning a UI update which will also make the Spotify area larger, maybe I'll implement it then :)
