Hello. I was just wondering if it would be possible to use the same (default) "open file" dialog box for XMMS program as Firefox and other applications in FC3 in Gnome use. The current open file dialog box used with XMMS is pretty "ugly" and it would help XMMS be more polished and consistent with Fedora. XMMS menus could use the same theme also but I guess, I should address that to the XMMS developers, right? Just and idea, though. Thanks.

Would require actually porting the app to GTK 2 first - there are variations on this already (Beep, for one). Of course, at that point the question is do you just want to rewrite the media player itself.

In summary, I think if we just address a few minor things then totem/HelixPlayer could fulfill the role xmms plays now.

just a thought, but can't amarok be included as the default media player instead of xmms?
amarok is a lot more feature rich than xmms and uses gstreamer, which is generally considered better.

amarok seems like a candidate for Extra's but not core. Totem and HelixPlayer already ship with core and have a maintainer. A replacement for xmms just needs to be a simple music player. For something more fancy we already have RhythmBox.

how about juk then? http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/juk.html
i'm just trying to keep with default stuff than bringing a new package in. juk is a part of standard kde packages, whereas beep isn't. it'll be much easier to manage and maintain juk than beep. imo and i'm prolly wrong, too.
fancy we already have RhythmBox.

Since this thread is about consistency of the open file dialog I don't think Juk fits the bill either.

There is a GTK2 port/fork of XMMS called Beep Media Player (as Bill Nottingham pointed out), and it's being packaged for livna.org. If you're interested in it, please help out with QA at
