Issue 185: Improved User Interface for ProTONE Player
Project Member Reported by octavian...@gmail.com, May 19, 2014
Screen based User Interface with navigation controls and context-dependent menus and controls:

A. Playback controls and menus remain the same

B. Playlist / Bookmark manager to be replaced with a screen based UI as follows:

- Able to switch between multiple screens by means of some "navigation" buttons and shortcuts:
- next screen = Ctrl + Right arrow
- previous screen = Ctrl + Left arrow
- (optional) When switching between screens the application will perform an animated slide

Screens description:

(1) Playlist Screen
* Next screen control goes to Track Information screen
* Previous screen control goes to Bookmark Management screen

- lists all elements that exist in current playlist: CD tracks / disk files / DVD titles and chapters / Web URI's
- context menu similar to the one currently assigned to Playlist Area (Version 1.10)
- still keeping the tooltips

(2) Track information screen
* Next screen control goes to Visual Effects screen
* Previous screen control goes to Bookmark Management screen

- Features a lightweight display of Playlist (Only names, no duration, no icon, no tooltips) + a specific display area

- Lists elements that are currently depicted only as tooltips bound to playlist entries (Version 1.10)
- Information will be EDITABLE (where applicable e.g. ID3 tags)
