Good job but..

Submitted by Anonymous George on Wed, 2005-11-30 12:53.

Rhythmbox is getting better.. but I think they are missing a very important point about usability. You can't keep changing the behaviour of the player. In the last version, if you close the window it is actually minimized in the notification area. So I actually became used to this. Now they have changed it yet again. Now clicking the close button closes the player. This is a major annoyance because now I often close the player by mistake when I actually wanted to minimize to tray. I appreciate how those guys are working hard to make it a better player but there are some things that you have to understand. We all adapt to software changes but you cant force the users to do it every 1 month.
