Hi!

I just discovered the party mode playlist thing. That's cool. Gonna try it at the next party! What would however be even better, is if there would also be certain UI changes that switch amarok in some kind of kiosk mode. You know drunken people, and even non drunken, tend to do harmful things...

People should still be able to modify the playlist, look around in the collection, view the info pages or so. But otherwise it would be good if amarok could keep people doing harmful things by having a global party mode. That would include:

- Remove dangerous actions like "Delete". Especially from the Playlist RMB popup, where it's right beside the completely harmless "Remove from playlist". IMHO this "Delete" should even removed in normal operation, it's pretty easy to hit the wrong one!!
- Go full screen, get back only by keyboard shortcut
- Disallow tag editing.
- Don't show the "Files" tab in the sidebar
- It should still be possible to show audio CDs (can amarok play audio CDs? never tried that) and other media carrying devices, like data CDs, USB sticks, though...
- Generally streamline the interface a bit, by removing other things which are possibly harmful or just not necessary and confusing in that mode like: In the main playlist: Save playlist button, Add media button; In Collections: configuration button; In Playlists: delete playlist button, View config button, Smart playlists ...
- add some status display, like in the player window: the current time in the song, a progress bar, some dancing bars, a volume control
- Maybe other things I didn't think of
