The contributions to the develop branch so far have gotten the app much closer to the ideal experience, but there's always more that could be done. Such as:
Use a big header layout for both the Play and Perform modes. I.e., it should be a version of the FullHeader header layout with 3 header bands: Stanford header band, Stanford University Piano Roll Archive band, and the header links band.
Then create a third mode, called "Embed", that is basically just the Play mode, but with only the current single-line minimized header (this mode would be used when, you guessed it, embedding the player on other pages)
Make the control strip icons bigger (up to 2x as large as currently)
Use unbounded icons for the control strip, e.g., just a triangle for Play, rather than a triangle with a circle around it, then maybe use CSS to draw borders around each button.
Font and color scheme cleanup: make sure the different color profiles and CSS variables are being used wherever possible; stick to the same 2-3 fonts for the entire UX.
Generally try to unify the appearance of the big header in the Play/Perform/Search/About templates with the Spotlight exhibit's header as much as possible. This also involves some changes to be made to the Spotlight site configuration, and regardless the two site's headers can't be made 100% equivalent, but some ideas are:
Thanks! The links will probably change a bit as we get feedback on this, but the important thing is that they're available in the right spot in the template, which they are now.
It'll be great to have maybe a WIP branch that uses this header template for all of the page layouts (Play and Perform, also Search and the About/colophon page) so we can be sure it's what everyone wants. In that setup, the only pages without the stacked header would be the "I want to..." Home page, and the Embed view of the player (which isn't built yet, but it's mentioned #193 and would be basically what the Play view looks like now).
