[vlc-devel] Buttons in the QT interface controler

I want to change some of the buttons and other random stuff in the QT
interface (consider this to be my QT TODO list):

 * Preferences: The preferences are already available through the menu.
                We don't need to have a button to open them (it's not a
                dialog that people are supposed to open often).

 * Fullscreen: The button should be hidden when no video is playing.

 * Rate changes: Rate change buttons "S" and "F" should be "advanced
                 controls" (-> hidden unless advanced controls is
                 checked). They're also not buttons which you use often
                 plus rate change is already available through the
                 rate right click menu in the status bar. (And it'd be
                 logical to have them somewhere around the "N" normal
                 rate button. Like "AB" "S" "Fr" "R" "S" "N" "F".)

 * Album art: Add a context menu on the album art display to change the
              album art download policy (shouldn't be too hard :p).
              Make the image resizable (somehow) so it doesn't look too
              small on high resolution screens.

 * Playlist: Move the icon / tree hierarchy in a column of it's own.
             (+ maybe change the columns default width so that the
             contents fit better)
             Show the additional sources menu when right clicking on the
             left hand side playlist category menu (i don't know what
             it's called).
             Make it undock when you drag it away from the controler
             (I'm not sure if that's possible but it'd be neat :D)
             Add menu item to toggle between tree and flat mode.

 * Ratings: Use small cone icons !!!!

 * Status bar: Add right click menu to chose what info you want to
               display (Author - Track name / Filename / ...)

 * Menu: Hide menu items when they're empty (i'm not sure about that one
         though)

 * Extended Settings: Find real names for the different video filters
                      related tabs :)

Feel free to comment (this is kind of why i'm posting),
