While "is sound coming out of my speakers?" is a pretty good test for if music is playing
That just made me laugh because I thought exactly the same :smiley: But an (maybe pulsing) overlay is a very nice idea. I will see what I can do.
Like the spotify client, the play/pause button should show a play icon when paused and a pause icon when playing. It would also be nice to show a watermarked pause icon overlaying the album art when playback is paused to give a quick visual indicator that the music is paused.
While "is sound coming out of my speakers?" is a pretty good test for if music is playing, I often mute my speakers when getting a call or when someone walks into my office and forget that my speakers are muted. Currently, the only way to see that music is not playing is to open the spotify client and look or to unmute the speakers. A visual indicator would be helpful. I've attached a screenshot of my idea for how a paused overlay might look, but an image that's more sexy/glassy would be preferred over my amateur paint skills.
