Add an X11 user interface
This is meant to exactly mimic the terminal UI, just without the restriction to ugly monospace fonts. The Curses implementation has been reworked, and may have become more computationally expensive. In general, though, the codebase has been significantly cleaned up.

======
|

|

'nncmpp' is yet another MPD client. It is in effect a simplified TUI version
|
||||
of Sonata. I had already written a lot of the required code before, so I had
|
||||
the perfect opportunity to get rid of the unmaintained Python application and
|
||||
make the first TUI client that doesn't feel awkward to use.
|
||||
'nncmpp' is yet another MPD client. Its specialty is running equally well in
|
||||
the terminal, or as an X11 client--it will provide the same keyboard- and
|
||||
mouse-friendly interface.
|
||||
|
||||
This project began its life as a simplified TUI version of Sonata. I had
|
||||
already written a lot of the required code before, so I had the perfect
|
||||
opportunity to get rid of the unmaintained Python application, and to make
|
||||
the first TUI client that doesn't feel awkward to use.
|
||||
|
||||
If it's not obvious enough, the name is a pun on all those ridiculous client
|
||||
names, and should be pronounced as "nincompoop".
|
||||
|
||||
Features
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Most stuff is there. Enough for me to use the program exclusively. Among other
|
||||
things, it can display and change PulseAudio volume directly to cover the use
|
||||
case of remote control, it has a fast spectrum visualiser, and both
|
||||
the appearance and key bindings can be customized.

Note that since I only use the filesystem browsing mode, that's also the only

thing I care to implement for the time being. Similarly, the search feature is
|

known to be clumsy.

Terminal caveats

User interface caveats
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
The ncurses interface aspires to be as close to a GUI as possible. Don't shy
|
||||
away from using your mouse (though keyboard is also fine). Terminals are,
|
||||
however, tricky to get consistent results on, so be aware of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- use a UTF-8 locale to get finer resolution progress bars and scrollbars
|
||||
- Xterm needs `XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true` for the default bindings to work
|
||||
- urxvt's 'vtwheel' plugin sabotages scrolling
|
||||
|
||||
The X11 graphical interface is a second-class citizen, so some limitations of
|
||||
terminals carry over, such as the plain default theme.
