Rhythmbox interface

  • 772

All versions of Rhythmbox I've used looked something like this

enter image description here

Notice at the top, there are two wide toolbars, one with buttons, the other with the song title and progress slider.

Apparently, it's possible to unify the two to make Rhythmbox look something like this:

Anyone knows how?

PS: I use Ubuntu 10.04 and Rhythmbox 0.12.8 bundled with it.

    The Rhythmbox version that was first hosted on sourceforge (v0.8.5) first existed with a GUI as per your second screenshot.

    Since the software was moved under the Gnome umbrella, the GUI has been changed as per your first screenshot. Unfortunately, you cannot reskin rhythmbox to have the old GUI.

    There is a rhythmbox fork:

    The second screenshot looks very much like the proposed "Rhythm-e" elementary version of Rhythmbox - this is/was a fork of Rhythmbox proposed for Elementary OS.

    The current status of Rhythm-e looks rather quiet looking at launchpad

    The screenshot is from a webupd8 article

    There are some nice screenshots of this on deviantart - Rhythm-e is deprecated and is no longer being developed, Beatbox which is the new Music Player from the elementary team was favored over Rhythm-e. However this is not available in Lucid.
