Got the update

Now got it appearing at extreme left by the earpiece smack in the middle, where I want it.

Thanks MAG

it can be a good idea to have blur effect for below open windows when the media bar appears . like when the menu opens due to pressing power key.

thats the setting i want too....

@NightShift79: those are some very nice mock ups would be cool to have mediabar get to that stage

Correct my friend. I want it to only show up when it is covered and when it is not it disappears without having to wait for it to go away after setting the time.

** Show song metadata didn't work for me. Broken I should say. Worked once but later stopped working, even after reboots and reinstalls

I think I should supply a manual :P
Metadata is received when you switch songs, metadata only shows when the mediaplayer controls are visible, those controls are only visible if you hold the mediaplayer icon.
Is it that hard?

I agree. You should be on the Nokia payroll to continue beefing up Maemo 5. Nokia were basically laughing their heads off taking $500 per N900 then ditching Maemo support less than a year later. Not cool, Nokia, not cool!

yes very hard indeed. lol.

Anyway why not make song metadata display continuously in the MBar? this way we don't have to keep going to back to media player to find out which song we are playing. Also if you can put a widget inside it would be nice.

Scenario:
Browsing website and can't be bother to go back to the onscreen widget and would like to press the proximity sensor and change song or skip the boring song.

it's so nice that mediabar

Btw, thx MohammadAG for the compiling tip

now I got it.

I have changed the buttons to "flat". now only the icons are visible.
Upnext Im going to add a nice "bar-ish" background.
As I'm a total dev noob, I would put a label behind the buttons in the .ui and add a pixmap to it.
now add ressource file...

Would this be the right approach ?

I have a little problem: I can't save settings. Every time I open Media Bar options menu everything is at its default value, my settings are always discarded. Any idea?

EDIT:
It was just a permissions problem,
