Title: Make seek bar more visible
Post by: James4 on June 22, 2023, 09:22:23
Please make seek bar current position more visible when waveform display is disabled.

Suggestion:

Make it thicker to I can see and click it.

The reason I ask for this feature is because when AIMP scans the waveform it hogs a lot of CPU.
I don't want it to use that much CPU even for a few seconds and I don't care for waveform, but without the waveform the seek bar is useless as time/position indicator, it's 2 pixels tall and I can't see anything.

Why don't you do it yourself through the editor?
You can also look and try other skins.

by default, it has an accent color, but you uses gray accent color that blends with non-accent colors

Yep, 100% load spike on a single core every song change is not very healthy.
I would love if the seek bar is a little more visible with a grey on grey theme.

Also, why the "Против" option?
Some people will actually be Против if the non-waveform bar is a little more visible?

В моём случае полоса вполне заметна и более широкий прогресс будет хуже сочетаться с другими элементами.
