The NowPlaying screen on iPad - although it has the general pages, is currently a completely different thing compared to the iPhone. On iPhone, it's just one level in the menu hierarchy, on iPad it's a modal foreground dialog. That causes a lot of differences, like the fact that submenus can't be shown directly on the screen etc. And one additional consequence is that there is no header or footer for the playlist where you could just place additional controls. I can't just replace this with the iPhone UI, the iPhone UI for the NowPlaying screen doesn't work on iPad. The full playlist with all options on the iPad is the one accessible from the main screen. Also... I understand that you would not find the UI too cluttered but I know others would, some even do today. And it's also not the only request for additional functionality people ask for on the NowPlaying screen. There are dozens more, like showing file type and bitrate, paths, more rating options, additional player states, browsers for artist info from the internet or booklets etc. Adding ALL these options would certainly clutter the UI a lot. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
