gnome-screenshot -d=10, then get the tooltip to pop up. Banshee's is "nicer" in that it shows you the album art for the currently playing song, but that means it's no longer a GTK+ tooltip. I've wanted to port my work on Pygmy's (now Sonata's) tooltip over to RB and Banshee so they'd look right but still be slick and cool: http://sonata.berlios.de/images/sonata7.png > > - What about upgrading the iconset in Rhythmbox?

Replace "metacity" with "GTK+"? If so, then the icons included with RB could be considered "oldish", I guess, in relation to the Tango icons. That being the stereo system icon for the app, and the music note icon for the systray.

Good point. UI-wise, I have wondered why this takes up so much room; a GTK+ list box would be better IMO, but then again I never use this.) _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
