What is that xmms widget in the screenshot?
by moreati on Sunday 17/Mar/2002, @16:34

Alright, I know this is totally offtopic. But in the Hello World screenshot (http://qtcsharp.sourceforge.net/snapshot.png) there is an xmms... thing in the toolbar of kate. Is this application specific? What is the source?

I don't think it's xmms-kde, but I could be wrong.

The screenshot is at

And to keep things vaguely relevant...

The speed of open source & especially KDE development never ceases to amaze. I guess a tower is much easier to vuild when the foundations aren't wrapped in bubble wrap.

No, that's just regular old xmms minimized and placed in that location by me for easy access when working ;-)

Incredible, it looks so integrated. Although thinking about it, the reality of a toolbar embedded xmms would be fairly limiting. Forget I mentioned it.

A few of us once considered writing a KWin plugin that was also a Noatun plugin...

Now that Noatun has a dcop interface it'd actually be easy to do.

How's that for integration? :-)

Hmm.. you could do toolbar integration too by writing a custom widget style...

.. but then we'd have to use noatun.

no offense, but an analogy of wmp::winamp on the windows side to noatun::xmms can be drawn; that is, noatun is just simply too heavy to deal with the everyday and mundane task of playing mp3s and just maintaining a userlist.

also, noatun needs to have better video support, imho.. something like mplayer (cross-platform) or aviplayer(x86-only).

This is what is known as a complaint. There are differences between a complaint and a suggestion. A complaint is ambiguous, unhelpful, based on obsolete and remote evaluations, and put in the wrong place. A suggestion is none of these things. Thank you (steps off soapbox)

Oh man, please do! That would be awesome. I go back and forth between Noatun and XMMS right now, but I think it will be Noatun when KDE3 comes out. Can't wait to see your Hayes playlist ;-)
