Amarok 2.2 Has a Completely New Look and Feel

“”Many weeks have passed since our last version, and so many
changes and improvements have found their way into version 2.2.
Over all, the team is quite proud of all the improvements and was
lucky to be able to plan and coordinate those in two developer
sprints, one in Berlin and one during the Gran Canaria Desktop
Summit, made possible by your support for Amarok and KDE. To put
this into perspective: In the last three and a half months we
closed 654 bugs, made close to 2200 commits to the code, of which
more than a hundred were made in the first 24 hours after the
release of version 2.1.1. The code statistics show that we changed
a total of 1935 files, wrote 101693 new lines, and removed 73774
obsolete lines of code.” – Lydia Pintscher says in the official
release announcement.

“The user interface has seen important improvements, with the
Browser Pane moved on the left side of the window and with “bread
crumbs”-styled navigation helpers on top. By using Qt4’s widget
functionality, almost every visual element of the window, including
the Browser Pane, the Context View and the Playlist, is dockable
and can be placed in any position or layout. They can even be
stacked or, if you have no use for them, completely removed.”
