KDE Amarok 2.7 Coming Very Soon With New Features

This may come as a shock, but that's configurable. You can actually not display it.

Since when?

You can also stack it on top of any other component, making it a tab that you can switch back and forth from. That is what I do (playlist on the left, collection and lyrics tabbed on the right). You could even theoretically make all three one tab.

Right. As much as some like to dismiss Amarok 2.x for not being Amarok 1.x, htis thing has a lot going for it.

Actually since Amarok 2.2 it was the most awaited feature of this release. Ability to customize players layout. with all the elements being widgets you a move around, tab or remove.

So how do i do it? Ive removed all the 'applets' but the applet pane is there still and theres no button in the UI or in the options to remove it either.

Rightclick on menu ro playback- conntrols bar and uncheck "lock layout"
Then you can uncheck elements you don't wanna use, in our case that would be context. Also on each removable widget there are two buttons, one to undock it and other to close widgets.
Also you can drag applets arount to create your own layout, just like yo can do it with panels in Dolphin
Playback bar is movable, 'tho you can't remove it (for obvious reason)

[droste]

Go to the main menu bar and click on View -> Lock Layout to unlock the layout. Then there should be a title bar with an [x] button on the top-right of the context window. Click on it to close it and lock the layout again with View -> Lock Layout.

Thank you both. Yes, qmmp is the kind of player I was referring to (small interface). But I really feel comfortable with Audacious which was the first one I used many years ago and I have not problem using gtk things. Audacious also uses Winamp 2 Skins.
Thank you.

As qmmp does as well
