I'm using amarok from the first release. It is the best player around (on any platform) and one of the best desktop applications in general. It always had big mistakes (flashing purple buttons anyone O_o) but what you are about to do now is much more terrible.

What about the horrible design of Amarok 2. Amarok is looking great now, and snapshots of version 2 are just horrible.

It is a surprise anyway that an application as good as this has no modular design that would allow you to use skins/themes (not some css crap, that's a joke)

At least I wish you implemented an option into v2 that would let users choose where to place the context browser. Or someone sane will make some patches to return it to original state.

Amarok is around for some time now, and still you don't even provide a way to change the simple things like the buttons in the classic "small" player. We are terrorized by hidious purple flashing buttons, for too long now!!
Because things like that, and now the new design when I think of amarok I think of gaim, gnome and other "interface nazis".

I still remember what a miserable release you made sometime after the meeting in Holland, thank god someone was sane to put it back to original design. Please, please do not make the same mistake again.

I will stick to (whatever) last release of the 1.x series will be for a long time, and it's sad that the only reason is visual design.
