The skins are getting as full of controls as we can make them; with the new FX array added to the samplers, and now the option of four decks, there is less and less leeway. especially for smaller screens and especially for aesthetics. Elegance becomes difficult when the screen is just a mass of widgets practically touching each other.
What I propose is "slide out" pages that emerge when the mouse stays at the edge of the screen for a configurable amount of time. This is a common feature of Android and various web applications. I believe Tumblr uses it and the Lightning browser for Android uses it, though the idea goes as far back as taskbar hiding in various desktop environments/shells.
The one hitch I foresee is what to do when Mixxx isn't in fullscreen mode, but a clickable tab should suffice. It would also be nice to allow the cursor to sense the edge of the window so that if reaching that vertice from the inside, it could trigger the drawer/panel even without that vertice being flush with the monitor edge.
Should I submit this as a blueprint, or is this adequate?
It is OK for me to track the idea here.
