Right now, this page is two separate pages, one pasted on top of the other. The goal is to merge them into one document. Psychoadept (talk) 17:41, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

So, this page has been giving me fits because there are so many "it's like this, unless you do this in which case..." sort of thing.

One thing I wanted to do, on separate pages, was show screenshots with each possible configuration of that component (for example, now playing list, player, artwork, lyrics, etc). Do you have any thoughts? Psychoadept (talk) 02:45, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

I agree, and am happy to provide screenshots where necesary. I'm away for the next couple of days with limited PC access, but I'll get involved early next week. Tom dl (talk) 14:01, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks! I'm pretty free this weekend, so I will see if I can get this page ironed out today. I may end up redoing you color-coded guide using the default layout, for clarity. I was really glad you made that, because I'd been thinking of it myself and just hadn't gotten there. :)
p.s. I notice you've already picked up on some of my shortcut templates - good eye! Psychoadept (talk) 17:54, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

I think it'd be a waste of resources for us to both spend time on this article (which I think is finally correctly titled, btw), so I'll leave it to you. However, I wanted to suggest that maybe rather than discard my screenshot, the wiki could have separate articles for "getting started" (where a clean install screenshot like yours would be useful) and full-on "anatomy" (where a screenshot like mine is useful).

p.s. yes, they're pretty useful! Tom dl (talk) 00:02, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
You're right on both counts.  :) I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a place to use your screenshot. Psychoadept (talk) 00:06, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
I'm tentatively declaring this page done. Anything that would require more than one screenshot or explanation of menus and options, etc, I've broken off into its own page. I've copied your text over to those pages, where appropriate.
Regarding your original screenshot (and the color-blind version, which was just an awesome idea - I try to be really aware of accessibility issues)... what would be REALLY COOL but probably more work that it's worth is use {{#NewWindowLink:https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap%7CImageMap}} to link it to all the relevant pages. More practically, I can resurrect your original page with headings, and do the same thing that way. Just let it be a collection of links, assume that advanced users don't need all the basic explanation. Psychoadept (talk) 03:05, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
