A bit of an annoyance with mini player

[rexisted]

So this mini player I am talking about seems like you made the window smaller and removed the ability to scroll. I accessed it through the menu on the interface So the mini play is a bit annoying especially when you are used to other players. Like easily dragging the player around but whenever I do that I end up Highlighting the player and forgetting that I cant drag the play from any spot and then it scrolls all the way down hiding the player. But strangely there is another better looking play that pops up when I click the notification icon. Why doesn't that one pop up instead.

There are 2 kinds of mini player. Let’s call one “Compact Player” and the other one “Mini Player”. The “Mini Player” can be popped up by clicking the tray icon or by using the menu “Switch to Mini Player” Ctrl+Shift+M. The “Compact Player” is there if you want to customise your own player. You have to define a css style in the userstyles/mini directory to be able to choose this.

I will make try to make the “Compact Player” draggable. This player was ‘first’ but I had some issues myself when issues. That’s the main reason why the “Mini Player” was implemented.

I don’t want to kick out the “Compact Player” because it’s customisable(although I agree you need some experience in CSS to accomplish this).

Any feedback is welcome.

Ok understandable... How about making it customizable through other methods. Such as creating an interface that allows one to create their own mini player by selecting images and setting them to do a certain action once click. You could provide them with images, themes, and the action. Anything that is not there would be on the user to figure what they want to do. Just a suggestion to avoid the massive learning curve for better customization.

But I doubt this should be in your to do list.

Feel free to add it to your to do list ;-)

fyi: the behaviour of the compact player will be improved by next release.

I would love too but for now I am stuck in my own year round project. Just using this as convenience. And I have no experience in CSS whatsoever. Anyways great job. Will try and give anymore feedback.
