That sounds good. Real good.. :) Dik --===============0924298913== Content-Type: MULTIPART/SIGNED; BOUNDARY=nextPart2232669.Kj9bvMbXgP; PROTOCOL="application/pgp-signature"; MICALG=pgp-sha1 Content-ID: Content-Description: This message is in MIME format.

Yes, I know this is work in progress.. :) So don't tell us :P We really don't care about styling a lot right now... the whole app doesn't= =20 look very integrated in itself. > * Can the plasma area integrate into the rest of KDE, theming-wise?

Don't get that one, I guess that all depends on the plasmoids and/or=20 possabilities in plasma itself, I don't see a lot of things we have to deal= =20 with (despite the fact that the stock plasmoids should probably adept, thou= gh=20 that's a mino detail IMO). > * Just a wild idea: Will it be possible to disconnect the plasma area into > a seperate window?

I guess the "disconnnecting" isn't technical that easy (without making the= =20 rest of Amarok as well). Also I don't think it's very meaningful to do this= ,=20 you have to think of the ContextView as an enhanced version of the ContextT= ab=20 in 1.4, which gives 3rd party the possability to create plasmoids for all=20 kind of stuff and is good looking the same time. Anyway, the thing is... Plasma (the standalone app -> desktop) is probably = the better choice for this. It's actually made for that kind of stuff, the only= =20 thing we should provide for that, is access our dataengines from plasma (at= =20 runtime of course) this way one can write plasmoids for Plasma (and it's=20 formfactors) which still can access the internal Amarok information. > * In case it proves difficult to really make the plasma area become one > with the rest of Amarok, I think it is important that the plasma area can > be hidden. Maybe the first-start wizard could allow choice between > 'Classic' look and 'Plasmified'. It is most probably not. Still, I'm totally against the first-start wizard= =20 thing, in fact the wizard should be cut down, also... the ContextTab has be= en=20 removed, never actually completely ported and none certainly will maintain= =20 two things doing exactly the same.
