They have standard size (44x44) and are - other than some other stuff on that header bar - NOT on an active background, they should be fine. I'll have a look. Never heard about that so far, only issues with the small volume buttons but I can't change that without the redesign. > > Suggestions for version 2: > + Of course this is the obvious thing to go for but anyway...

This will cause a horrible outcry.... But yes, I thought about it, too. The problem with bottom is that it's pretty easy to accidentally hit them.

They have some at 600x600 but a lot is still just 300x300, some even 160x160. But other than that I do indeed like the design of the Spotify App although I do not like the workflow. If some people complain that iPeng is un-intuitive and cluttered, what is this then? Also I don't like the fact that you need to switch to that NowPlaying screen to be able to access full player control and that they don't have a volume control (OK, that hidden one). The one big lesson I learned (like, btw, Apple and Spotify) is that the big cover on the main screen has to go because it enforces a certain type of layout that costs you flexibility. And lesson two (this time, from bluegaspode): it's not worth it to try to free up space by only having a single control bar (in iPeng's case: at the top), better spend that bottom one, too, to tidy up the UI. So you can pretty much make up how iPeng for iPad 2.0 will look like ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
