I put Elisa in fullscreen mode and thought that probably a new UI design would come good, so I thought: what if I try to design Elisa’s future UI? So I came with these mockups of a YT Music inspired user interface for the superior panel and the Fullscreen mode of the music player. Its goal is to add lyrics support to the fullscreen mode and modernize the visual style of this maybe-forgotten part of Elisa player. It’s my first ever UI design attempt for an actual program, so I’m open to improvements and feedback.
I (and some many other people) would like to see this make it to the full Elisa as it would completely revamp this part of the UI to look more modern and eye-pleasing for the user as people shown their support in Reddit.
Each page and its technicalities are described on this imgur post.

Note: For the time being, I’m not able to actually implement any of this in Elisa because I have no experience coding anything GUI based, let alone Qt based, so if someone knows about good starting resources for Qt please post them in the comments, and if someone wants to chime in to help make this UI come true, even better. If you’re willing to implement this, I’m fully open to talk with the developers for things like replicating this UI more accurately.
Thanks in advance and thanks to all the people who showed their support on this.
