Which plugin is that?
I'm using the icon url from "window" -> "icon-id".
If no icon url can be found, I'm showing this default icon (two
lights).

I'm trying to avoid touch-to-play.
Of course, in this case - if the element is named PLAY - it should play
directly.
What's the text of this (play) item?
What's the JSON command?

I prefer clicking on the player name itself, because the song title is
ambiguous.
If you have a sync group of several player, which one should be
selected by clicking the song title? The master?
I'll probably change it that it will automatically select the current
sync master.

I do not really like the big player name, because it take pretty much
space and I normally know which player I selected.
But making it easier to select another player may be a good idea.
Right now, if you long-press the player name on the bottom, you will
jump to the PlayerServerScreen.
Maybe I should change this so that a "Player Selection Popup" opens
directly and you can select the player you want.
What do you think?

Yes, this is just shown for convenience to see which was the previous
screen.
And the (vertical) space in the ActionBar is taken anyway, so it's not
so bad, IMHO.

Not sure about this one, for me it's as fast as iPeng.
The good thing is that more stuff is cached in SqueezeCommander, so if
you e.g. open an album again, it will probably be very fast. :-)

I'm not sure either. :-)
Nothing is set in stone, so this may change in the future.

There were clickable in the earlier Betas, but it was too difficult to
hit them.
And making them bigger is IMHO a waste of space.
PS: You can long-press on the (soft or hard) back key to get back to
the HomeMenu.

I've noticed that as well.
I should probably reduce the minimum swipe distance...

Could you give an example of such a string and where it is shown?

Any ideas?
In the previous version, there was also a "Clear Playlist" icon, but
that is pretty useless and hence I've moved it to the Playlist Edit
mode. :-)
