Description Chris Howie 2009-02-20 19:18:52 UTC 
This bug is for the (presumably already underway) effort to allow extensions to take control of the Now Playing area in some form, e.g. for visualization.

I started working on this a bit quite a while ago.  My work is available in my git repo in my nowplaying branch - http://banshee-project.org/~gburt/banshee.git

That patch includes copying some widgets used in Fullscreen, but they're not used yet.  My idea was to use have the NowPlaying look like it currently does normally, but when you mouse near the top of it, it pops up some controls like Fullscreen does at the bottom of the screen.  These controls would let you change NowPlaying views (tabs in the Notebook) and maybe some other settings for the current tab.

One complication for doing this in NowPlaying that Fullscreen doesn't have is the NowPlaying window can move/resize (where Fullscreen doesn't).

Closing this - git master has a different patch allowing OpenVP to hijack the NP area for audio tracks.
