We can always not having anything on top.

A few thoughts about the mockup:

  • Search button placement is not good. It's visually disconnected from the part of the UI it affects (Dolphin has the same problem)
    • Elisa currently puts it in a very good spot
  • Main control bar is too wide and tall.
  • Elisa seems to built around playlists, so adding a way to quickly access them to the sidebar is a good idea that can be adapted into the current design.
  • Is the heart Last.fm integration? Isn't that out of fashion now?
  • The repeat and shuffle buttons look like they're on opposite sides for visual balance, but it's better for usability to put them next to each other. They're strongly related to each other and are placed next to each other in every other music player.

"I personally don't like it" is not a good reason to change something. Having the playback controls on top is natural since it puts them into the app's toolbar area, where most apps have their global tools and actions.

You wouldn't use hardcoded colors, of course. You would use colors from the Elisa palette, which you can see used in other places throughout the UI. And probably one of the colors should be "transparent". But yeah, otherwise that looks sensible enough.

+1, with those mockups there's almost nothing on the top toolbar. To be honest I don't really think we need to move the player controls to the bottom. I don't see that it solves any problem and it created a problem of the top toolbar being almost empty. I would keep the playback controls on top like they already are; we can maybe reduce the space it takes up, but I don't think it needs to be moved to another part of the window

The only thing I would change to the mockup is the top toolbar, it looks a bit empty. Maybe you could do it like Kaku (electron based youtube player that happens to have a similar naming scheme to KDE apps), where the settings and search buttons are on the sidebar.

I used to regularly test with Breeze dark color scheme but somehow forgot to do it for the current stable version. Please, if you can test and open bug reports, that would be really nice.

Here's an example. It's probably the only example.


The outlines are very dark, which looks unnatural for Breeze Dark.
Sliders normally look like this:

On the third point, I definitely need help on that. Why is 24 pixels a problem ?
I sometime have the impression that some icons are blurry. Maybe we could identify the problems and fix Elisa to use the correct icon size ?

A few icons are actually blurry (that's a breeze-icons problem) and not all monochrome icons in breeze-icons are available at 24px, but most KDE applications use 22px instead of 24px. I'm guessing this is because 22px is slightly closer to 2x the area of 16px than 24px, but I don't actually know.

Our 24px icons are really just 22px icons with an extra pixel of margin on each side. It might be possible to automatically generate 24px icons from 22px icons at build time.

ngraham added a comment to T12372: Elisa UI Redesign.

I think there are probably a few actionable tasks here, as well as some design matters we could discuss. For example:

  • We can tweak the Breeze icons used in the sidebar not to be blurry. Alternatively, we could decrease the size of the icon used in Elisa so it's using a size where we always have pixel-perfect versions for all icons. This should be a pretty simply fix.
  • To simplify the UI when the user first opens the app, we could have the Playlist hidden, and make it more accessible by adding a button (with text) on the main toolbar to open it. Then the default view would have two paned rather than three. Maybe, undecided on this. Just a thought.
  • We could make the top bar with the colored blur a bit shorter, or even make the fairly blingy colorful blur background only appear in the expanded view (the mode you enter when you click the arrow button on the left side, I don't know what it's called).
  • We definitely need a more attractive Artist view, for sure. I think the main challenge here is how to get artwork for those large grid items. Lollypop fetches artwork from the internet, but of course this is associated with some technical challenges.
  • @ndavis I think we should make Breeze look more like Elisa does not, rather than the inverse--in particular, with regards to how elements are separated by single-pixel lines rather than putting each view in a frame. The Elisa style is basically the Kirigami style and it's probably the future for KDE software in general, and it's the general style that we've more or less agreed on in our mockups from T10891 and T11663:

Based on this screenshot, I don't think Elisa needs a complete redesign. It mainly needs the following:

  • More colorscheme compatibility, unless that has already been fixed
  • We need to decide if some of the styling for its UI elements should be changed to match the Breeze widget style or if our widget style should be changed to match Elisa
  • Pixel perfect icons (maybe colorful icons, but monochrome looks so nice here), but this is mainly a breeze-icons problem, unless Elisa is using 24px icons.

I agree with all those goals.
