[Feature] general feedback and suggestions

[deantendo]

Still really loving this player. Feels both like a modern app and an audio workstation tool in presentation.

I have some general suggestions:

Theme

1. Colour control for BG with option for storing custom colours, use system accent colour, or palette of gnome colours.

UI

1. drag to resize visualisation panels
2. adjustable glow option for visualisers to simulate analogue hardware effects
3. optional edge/inner glow effect for visualisers to simulate analogue backlight bleed
4. additional VU (needle) meters to display low/mid/high frequencies individually (meters are cool, more meters are cooler)
5. Bottom left now playing; Option to replace the 'out' field with additional track info
6. Toggle track info should persist between sessions
7. Track info album art should not have an outline drawn
8. track info should have optional/configurable info (on/off for file path for example)
9. Library should have configuration options (how compact, image size and toggle, column info etc)
10. Library icon should be a record or CD, perhaps a Tape? (or maybe have the option to select)

Track waveform

1. true waveform display with toggle for mono/stereo or option for level of detail

Bonus fun feature:
Option 1: When using the mouse to seek on the now playing track waveform, if you right click and hold, then move the mouse left or right it produces a DJ scratch effect.

Option 2: With right click and drag; Control playback speed - With the centre being 1, left being slower, and right faster.

I'm more than happy to provide UI mockups for any of the above if it helps.

1. Themes are planned but their development has not started at this time
2. You can do that. You just need to switch to visualization edit mode by clicking the left sidebar of the visualizer.
3. Maybe at some point? See 1.
4. There is a VU metter mode you can enable if from the visualization editor.
5. This has been requested multiple times, it will be looked into but no expected timeline as of now.
6. In V0.7
7. Can you provide more info
8. The parameters it shows are already limited. Maybe in the future for like the theme update
9. It already has some, improvements are slowly on going.
10. See 1.
11. Maybe? Not planned at this time but definitely not ruling it out either

Also please make a GitHub discussion post instead of a long issue in the future when suggesting multiple ideas at once.
