Description Marc Deslauriers 2017-12-13 15:04:51 UTC 
MPRIS media player controls are displayed in the message tray. This is an odd location to show them, and is quite undiscoverable.

Clicking on the volume icon is the more natural place to find settings and information related to currently playing music.

In fact, I installed another MPRIS extension at first because I didn't even realize there were controls there.

Perhaps they should be moved, or some sort of indication displayed next to the clock?
