Adds more feathers to Gonzo
Description
This adds a "Medium" and "Alternate" feather to the Gonzo feather.
Medium: Basically it is just the faceplate from the main player with the current album art shown.
Alternate: Has some modifications on the main player
1. Uses the native window title bar
2. Moves the tab bar to above the browser instead of on top of the sidebar
3. Enabled the hide toolbar on mac
4. Fullscreen on windows and linux
5. Put the status bar at the bottom of the application.
Bugs for Alternate player:
1. No hot key for fullscreen (Should now be F11)
2. Resizer on status bar has elements on it. (last.fm) (FIXED)
3. Toolbar does not stay hidden on restart
Release Notes
Updated to 1.0 version.

no 0.7 support ?
I like it, but please make it resizeable! I accidently clicked the maximize button (on XP), and now its fills the whole width of my screen (the height didn't change). I cant shrink it back. Its unusable for me, now, and i dont want to delete my profile (i think this would fix it).
So I just wait for an update... :-D
It's not working for me. Does it only work with some builds? Tested it on a few nightlys. No luck.
i'm having problems with this one or RC_3. it only displays (from the far left of the skin) to the middle of the 'next track' button and the rest is gone. totally unusable for me unfortunately. deleting my profile doesn't help either
Thanks for fixing the resize-issue! Works perfect for me, now!
PS.: I want to skin your add-on to match my feathers. http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/1288
Shall I just doublicate your add-on with my css and image-files? Or would you prefer it, if i send you the css-code and the files, so you could implement this in your add-on here?
I found an easy way to integrate medium-player in my skin, by just changing install.rdf. That's the best way I think.
@atreiu That works :). Good work.
Hey stevo, Thanks for the Main Alternate feather!
It looks great... on a Mac!
On Windows it sucks, because:
1. When songbird is maximized, it leaves a empty space above the window
2. When songbird is maximized, Statusbar is below the visible screen
3. The Menu-bar looks ugly. Perhaps you can change Menu-bar-color to fit the main-menu-background? (Its brighter, now)
This is a screenshot of the maximized window on XP: http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot0ay2.jpg (don't get confused with the non-standard XP-Theme. The problems are the same, with the standard theme.)
@atreiu Yes I see that if you put the task bar at the top or left side of the screen the maximize seems to create a gap between the task bar and Songbird :(. If you have the task bar at the bottom or right side then it works normally. As for the menu bar your right that does look like crap, I will see what I can do to fix that :).
Thanks for your comments.
any chance you could work in the last.fm love/ban buttons into the medium player?
@trentono That will be up to the last.fm add on, as it creates the elements.
hey stevo, thanks for your explanations.
Since the last update, i got an bigger problem: medium-player isn't working anymore! Whole songbird crashes (exit without an error-message). Tested this with 2 different profiles.
@atreiu That is very odd, I run this on Windows Vista in a VM machine and have not noticed a problem with it.
@stevo: Thanks for testing. Perhaps its just my songbird. A reinstall of songbird with blank profiles would probably solve this, but i don't want to loose all my ratings again. So I just use 1.0.5 until a possibility to export/import databases is in sight.
It's just sad, that meanwhile i can't use your alternate view :-/
I was just about to post on Atrieu's feather board about the same problem I am having myself.
Everything is running well until I installed this version of More Gonzo. After the install, the program crashes. I then have to start up in safe mode to get anywhere.
SO, I tried these:
I uninstalled Yabs and re-enabled everything, including more Gonzo, program still Crashes.
SO, I then uninstall More Gonzo and reinstalled Yabs. Program runs.
Seeing that there was a YABS problem before.. I said what the heck, maybe there is something corrupted in my profile or something, so I bit the bullet and uninstalled the program, deleted my profile and EVERY songbird folder, so I am starting fresh. I then installed ONLy mediaflow and more gonzo.. program crashes again on more gonzo install.
I am using windows Vista 32 bit.
SO right now, program is running fine with everything, unless I install more gonzo.
By the way, on many of the Safe mode restart, songbird runs in invisible state, similar to what was happening with the Yabs conflict, BUt there was no Yabs on my pc anywhere at that time.
I'm having exactly the same problem on Vista 32bit. More Gonzo was working perfectly up to the last release. Manually dropping the files back to the last version fixed it for me though.
Thanks! Last Update really solved this :-)
If I understand, this problem had nothing to do with my yabs-feathers, is right? Important for me to know, if there are conflicts...
Alternate View: May I suggest a light background for the menu bar? Perhaps in the color of the top-pixel of the Nav-bar-Background? Or just use the same bg-image as in the status bar?
@atreiu Yes this had nothing to do with yabs-feathers.
I'll check into the background for the menu bar.
Pressing "V" while Songbird has focus causes Songbird to maximize. I'm running 0.7 on Ubuntu Hardy. Is this a bug or intended behavior?
stevo,
Is that designed that pressing "V" when in a main player maximizes/restores Songbird?
I don't think so, because it interferes with typing.
Should I file a bug for this?
This is reported on Get Satisfaction and definitely looks like bug to me:

I am surprised by myself... I really must admit that i always said that i am a fan of rubberducky and wont switch... I installed that "add on" and from one moment to another i use gonzo. I am just a stupid human... Anyway i think this happens to more people (There are a lot of stupid humans out there)... maybe its because it fits better to leopard.
Any chance of getting a version bump for 1.0.0rc1? I went ahead and overrode compatibility and no problems so far, but better safe eh? I use the medium skin *constantly*, my window manager doesn't like the mini player skin, so this is a godsend.
hi Stevo,
can I just ask you how did you remove the original frame from the gonzo skin and how did you enable the host operating system's window manager frame?
I working on a theme but I dont know how to do this.
My email is oslineblog gmail plz drop me a line with the solution!
The statusbar and the menubar looks weird under Ubuntu 8.10 linux thou.
Thanks!
