DVD Player has a hidden scrub bar

02. Feb, 2010 4 Comments

In 10.6 Snow Leopard, DVD Player’s bottom bar now shows a scrub bar on mouse over.

Editor’s note: I’m no HIG expert, but this seems like an odd move for an Apple app. I can’t think of many bottom window bars that do much more than act as drag handles or status displays.

    The DVD player scrubber is definitely present in 10.5 and I seem to recall that it was there in 10.4, too.

    Er … feed … delete.

    Is this *really* worthy of a post?!

      I thought so. The sites are called “The Finer Things,” a play on the phrase “finer things in life.” We’re interested in the little details, handy features, and appreciated bits of UI polish that we find in software and hardware. Sometimes they’re deep, hidden, and lesser-known features, sometimes they’re more obvious but appreciated polish. It’s hard to please everyone, but we try.

      Regardless, thanks for reading. I’d be sorry to see you go.
