Re: GNUstep GUI design

[Prashant Singh]

Hi,

What about a dockable playlist window? So there would be three options:
1) Playlist window attached to the main player window
2) Playlist window separate from the main player window
3) No visible playlist window

The contents of the window could stay pretty much the same. Maybe there
could be a button on the player window for showing/hiding the playlist
(like on XMMS) and a button on the playlist window for docking/undocking.
