Can you style the button so that it's a black, 50% 70% transparent box with text that says "Unlock" or better yet, a customizable text string in gconf.


Here's my idea! The pause button turns into a play button when the song is paused, and vice versa.
The wallpaper should probably be configurable too
EDIT: The buttons turn blue when you press them, similar to the default Media Player.

EDIT: And oh, double-tapping on the now playing unlocks and goes to the music player. The "Now Playing" bar doesn't appear when there's no music playing. Same goes for the bolded text on notifications, if you double tap the "unread messages" it goes to Conversations while if you double-tap the "missed calls" it goes to the call log.

EDIT2: Notifications!

MAG, if you're doing this, the notifications bar should probably have a fade in from up animation, similar to the yellow notification bar in Hildon-desktop. Same can be done for the "Unlock", "Date+Time" and "Now Playing" bars if you wake up the phone's screen while locked.


EDIT3: Let's put it all together!

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to tell me.

EDIT4: As per the suggestion of merlin1991 on IRC

Should make it easier to use one-handed while using landscape.

EDIT5: At MAG's request, a lock slider. The text should probably fade out as the slide gets closer, a la iPhone.
