Change Play/Pause Button Display

[R101]

Is there a simple way to change the display of the play/pause button so that you press a pause symbol to pause, and a play symbol to continue playing?

The Rune default (press play to pause/press pause to play) has always seemed wrong to me.

They are toggle buttons + status.

But if you preferred:

Code: Select all

# if RuneUI Enhancement installed:
sed -i -e 's/fa-play\(.*addClass.*\)pause/fa-pause\1play/
' -e '0,/pause.*addClass.*play/ s/pause\(.*addClass.*\)play/play\1pause/
' /srv/http/assets/js/custom.js

# No RuneUI Enhancement
sed -i -e 's/fa-play\(.*addClass.*\)pause/fa-pause\1play/
' -e '0,/pause.*addClass.*play/ s/pause\(.*addClass.*\)play/play\1pause/
' /srv/http/assets/js/runeui.js

sed -i -e 's/fa-play\(.*addClass.*\)pause/fa-pause\1play/
s/pause\(.*addClass.*\)play/play\1pause/
' /srv/http/assets/js/runeui.min.js


If it confuses many people, may be I should make an addon.

Hi R101 & rern,
I would also prefer it to be displayed as R101 suggests.
It's not so much confusing, but it is inconsistent with most other players (youtube, spotify, etc., etc.).

Hi rern,

I don't understand much of your post, but I entered the command and it seems to work perfectly.

Thanks greatly for this: the unconventional display has bothered me ever since I started using Rune, and I cannot see any reason why your modification should not be the default, rather than an addon.

Hi R101,

If there were 2 separated buttons of play and pause, button that was press would lit up to show current status. When they're combined into a toggle, we have to choose to show status or function of it.

By the way, RuneUI Enhancement let you use touch gestures for all 5 controls. You should try top-bottom menu hiding and the buttons won't bother you anymore.

Since this seems a lot a matter of preference, I'm thinking in making this behaviour configurable in 2.0

I see your point, rern. Two buttons without any light, or three buttons plus the light would both look OK to me, but I do like to have the buttons on the screen. Perhaps, as Andrea says, having it configurable would be best.

[R101]

OK, after thinking about it, I vote for 3 buttons!

Just to add another data point, and this is strictly my own opinion...
I agree with the posters above. The current way (buttons show the state, not what the button does) is different to all the other software I've used, and confuses me every time I come back to Rune if I haven't used it for a while. I have to explain it to my wife pretty much every time she uses Rune. I genuinely thought it was a bug in the software, rather than deliberate behaviour!

Configurable is always best to suit everybody but three buttons for me please. Also is there any way to make the buttons bigger - big fingers on a small touch (7in) screen leads to multiple buttons being pressed at the same time
