[eonpatapon]

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean exactly

[pynixwang]

Oh, my english is poooooooooooor.......

我说的是直接可以再声音按钮上开启播放器，像ubuntu unity那样的，播放器控制一直显示在声音按钮。但是好像每次打开rhythmbox都会产生一个窗口，所以这样从声音按钮打开也会产生窗口，这样就不和谐了。。

I think he wants to be able to start media player (Rhythmbox) from volume menu, just like you can in Ubuntu.

When player is not running (that is there's no active Rhythmbox/Banshee process at all) you could start player and music just by clicking ►/media player entry.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#Music_player_item

Personally, I'm against it and it'd require a lot of work.

The extension could remember the player's DesktopEntry property, and later use existing GNOME Shell functions (lookup_app() and app.activate()) to launch the player from its .desktop file. (This is how Sound Menu does it too.) Actually, the extension already uses DesktopEntry to retrieve the player icons and names.

On the other hand, remembering every single player seen would quickly clutter the extension UI... Maybe a "Pin" button next to the existing "Close" button would be better.

On the second thought, maybe it will require a lot of work indeed... Playing around in grawity/pin, but I'll probably get bored by tomorrow.
