As you are still asking for NP screen input, here is my favourite design:
- Leave the play buttons as is (skip back, 10s back, play/pause, 30s forward, skip forward)
- Remove the bottom icons (random etc)
- Move the three dots menu into the cover image (like minimalist) - this would also be consistent with many other views
- Show the “swipe up” icon on the bottom to get to the current queue (like minimalist)
- Leave current time and track length, optionally remove playback speed
Maybe there is a better name than “semi-minimalist”… maybe “uncluttered” or “straight”
