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
