Hey mohammad,
the media bar control panel is showed up now but the display song option seems to be broken. It worked once but later stopped working.

it is not yet stable. Can you put a media player widget on the MBar as well?

Feature request.

Can you put an option say: keep cover the proximity to display MBar. Once the finger or hand move away from the priimity the MBar disappear as well. So to show it, it must be covered all the time for the Xbar to appear all the time.

I think it's more handy than cover for specific time and show up.

Umm what do you mean? There's already a media player widget in it, just hold the icon for the mediaplayer.
Song metadata only shows with the controls, so again, do that ^.
And no, it's not my code that's buggy (first screenshot), it's the browser
(If you string the browser's binary, it seems to be overriding the whole desktop which seems to quote: draw items in it faster).
So that's out of my hand.

I just wanted to suggest: Even if you don't like the "having no background" possibility, and it's not aesthetically pleasing to you, I say make it a settings option.

It takes care of both categories of end users, and with (I presume) limited coding effort.

would it be difficult or much more work to add a vertical mode or make the position of the mediabar customizable through the settings menu so I can use it like I photoshopped it here?




okay, now I begin dreaming of a mediabar like this...

an backgroundimage for the buttons could be made easily. But could the buttons be made transparent so that only the icons are visible?
...I'm just a graphics guy... don't know if something like that could be done in QT

- Ohhh, just thinking how cool it would be to swipe your finger over the different icons and for each one different options come up like:



and then I thought why a bar? Can't we have a mediawheel?


a wheel which stores the apps that can be scrolled with your thumb. get the idea?
Icon on last position opens app-options like media player buttons...

anyway design is pretty odd. i can do better
although I'm getting tired.

As I'm only a graphics guy, I would like to know if such things can be done "easily" for a skilled dev like MohammadAG?
I'm just interested.

Well, good night.

+1 for NighShift79's suggestion on making it movable.

Also would it be possible to make it "slide" out from the edge of the screen rather than just pop into view, maybe an option in the settings panel?

Keep up the good work MAG

Transitions, started on those yesterday, but since it's a hack, it'll drop a lot of frames (it's hidden and shown each millisecond), so while I find a workaround for it, that's not going to happen

One background would do, as it's on the 5800XM.

Just a thought but instead of horizontal what about vertical, as where it is at present it covers up the operator logo and anything else in the left corner of the screen but there is nothing to cover up down the left hand side of the screen? Although I assume there is more a danger of hitting one of the icons in error whilst holding the phone in your left hand?

Nice homescreens. Any idea how I can get something similar?
I'm tired of the usual colors and widgets especially the weather one.
