Here's what I'm thinking atm:
Ignore the confused mocked up music and movie stuff
At the top and bottom a 48px horizontal (vertical optionally later) static bar. Going from left top:
Music and Video menus as now but scalable.
Breadcrumb navigation.
Contextual buttons (refresh, find, clear etc.).
Fixed control and settings (as now).
Bottom left:
Fixed play/pause and stop.
Currently playing and next.
Player status (paused, shuffled, repeat).
Time remaining of current item and total playlist (music or video) time.
Player controls show/hide.
The player and volume controls can be shown or hidden by pressing the player control button.
The poster and probably more info (Codec, size etc.) can be shown by clicking the "Now:" line and closed by the same or the X.
Thoughts? Have I missed anything?
I plan to position everything via CSS so a new style will just be a case of making a new CSS file.
