Triode, I was able to pull the latest jivelite from git, build and take
a look around. You have achieved what I was looking for in the HD Grid
skin at 1920x1080p. The now playing list is back to a nice list format,
and the repeat, and shuffle icons are now clearly visible below the
track position slider. I certainly appreciate getting the visual cue
that I may have selected a repeat or shuffle mode.  I am less convinced
that having these indications floating in a boardless area at the bottom
of the screen is the most visually appealing choice that could be made.
I have tried moving them around myself, and I find it difficult to make
them look "right" whatever I do. Almost every UI I use (Windows, Mac OS
X, most Linux Desktops) puts similar status icons in some kind of tray
or panel. It is a visual language I am very used to, and have a hard
time finding an alternative I really like.

One possibe tweak I came up with was making the icons null for the
repeat off and shuffle off states. This effectively hides the icons when
they are not needed, which, given that I am have trouble coming to terms
with any given positioning of them, is arguably a good thing. 

JackofAll is correct that this experiment has broken all of the other
skins, even the non-grid HD skin in the same resolution doesn't display
album lists correctly at the moment for me.
