Topic: Mini mode window and regular mode window having separate sizes

...as well as separate window position and toolbar configurations.


I noticed this in the latest build (r1822).


This is quite a good idea, I find.


1) It allows for the mini mode window to be a lot smaller in width than the regular window, which usually needs to be a fairly large width if a lot of columns are displayed.

2) It does make sense that in mini mode, you might not need the same toolbar buttons (especially the Filter field).

Re: Mini mode window and regular mode window having separate sizes

Yeah. People may want different configurations for both the toolbar and the window position/size when going back and forth between mini mode. The only downside is no more pretty animation, but oh well.

There's a lot of things broken because of the change, and it's going to require some slight re-architecting since the mini toolbar actually is a completely separate toolbar and we now have 2 play buttons, shuffle buttons, etc. I took care of the position bar/time display, which I figured were the more important bits. I hope to get to the rest this weekend.
