Re: crossfade: In case you're using gstreamer you can go to the preferences -> audio tab and there to "advanced settings". You can try to use the "gapless" playback.

I was just told by the user we discussed this with that the queue-buttons problem hasn't been resolved for him, so I guess we'll have to tackle that at some point in the near future.

Well, we're actually a group. But yes, I'm a member of the project, mostly working on Greybird, elementary-xfce etc.

Yeah, I can see those buttons. It's strange, we've had a discussion on this subject only a few days ago on IRC, not sure it was resolved in the end to be honest...

Maybe Quentin and I need to sit down some day and resolve the remaining differences in some way so that everyone gets a consistent experience again.

Sorry to reply in english but my french has become a bit more rusty than I'd like...

Some of the shimmer changes have been included upstream, but not all of them. So you'll still find some differences.

Frankly, it's been too long that I've been actively looking at the code that I could say what differences remain functionally. (What I remember is the cover-popup, the album and artist-left-click-menus, but there may be more, I guess Queue and totaltime-widget changes.)

Hey,
the layout was renamed at some point to "Lists, Library & Context" in gmusicbrowser, so you're probably using an older version of it.

About the icons: yeah, those can probably be resized to be crisp - in general the problem is that we can only supply one icon-size in gmusicbrowser-icon-themes and gtk-themes can define the size of icons on buttons. So in the end they can always end up being fuzzy.

I'm rather busy at work at the moment, so I won't be able to take care of those icons, but if you want to, feel free to go ahead!

Seems like Alt-Drag to move windows isn't enabled in all distros with Gnome3.
If you want to enable it, this command should change the setting:
"gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier --type string "<Alt>"

Note: I'm not a Gnome user, so take this with a grain of salt and better yet check for yourself first.

My bad, forgot to adjust the Makefile. It'll be in the next version/update!

OK, I'll see when I get to drawing up those three.
For now I uploaded a new version to the shimmer-PPA which includes your icon-theme.

Don't have much time now, but have you taken a look at the layout docs?
http://gmusicbrowser.org/layout_doc.html

I suggest you take a look at the code of the "Shimmer Desktop" layout, as it contains both those buttons.

Theoretically you could use the epicrating plugin from my github repository, I removed the dependency on that package (which is only needed for csv-export – not everyone might need that):
https://github.com/shimmerproject/gmusicbrowser/blob/master/plugins/epicrating.pm

Adding a parent gtkscrolledwindow might help with that problem.

@stormwatch: On a personal note: if you have such a low resolution, you might be better off with gtk-theme that has smaller widgets than Adwaita.

Make it easy on yourself and pull the git repo to a clean folder like this:
"git clone [email protected]:shimmerproject/gmusicbrowser.git"

This is already the ssh access, so you should be able to push into this repo as well then. (git add, git commit and git push are your friends)

Hey, you should have push-rights for the repository now. I'd suggest you make yourself familiar with basic git and then push your icons there!

I didn't add the half-valued stars because I was lazy mostly :)
The way the rating system works, it just gets more/less accurate with the number of stars an icon-theme holds. So it's not a real problem, just not ideal maybe.

The three icons you mentioned were created by me, they're not part of the original Faenza icon-theme.

Do you have a github account? If so, I'd say I'll give you access to the shimmer repo of gmusicbrowser, then we can host the icons there for the time being. As soon as they're release-ready, it'll be easy for Quentin to pull them from there.
