I just noticed it and it was inconsistent. Personally I don't like it, but not something I would go out of my way changing it. I often use filter to find something (and those are a nightmare at the moment - different topic). I sometimes use Plau all/shuffle for music, but movie or series to start randomly I would save the space. A lot of options in future e.g. saved filters or something like that. Or continue last movie/episode. Easy way to just jump back in, if I find nothing while browsing. |

I appreciate the work done on the experimental layout for the library controls and wanted to provide some observations and suggestions: Right Alignment: I really like the right alignment; it gives the interface a cleaner and more organized look. Text and Solid Blue Background: The addition of text and the solid blue background feels visually overwhelming. It occupies too much space and draws unnecessary attention. In my opinion, the icons themselves are already intuitive and effectively convey their functionality without the need for additional text or highlighting. Random Sorting and Pagination: The current implementation of random sorting renders pagination ineffective. It would be more user-friendly if the random order of items could persist throughout the session. For example: When navigating to page 2 and then returning to page 1, I would expect the items on page 1 to remain in the same order as when I left it. At present, the items get randomized on each page load, which disrupts the user's experience and makes pagination less useful. Furthermore, it is irrelevant whether the sorting of random items is ascending or descending. So conditionally removing that option would be cleaner when Randomization is active. Mini player: the now playing mini player tends to take up space at the bottom, which covers the last library items on the page. I would suggest adding some empty space to accomodate the mini player and allow for the final row of library items to be visible in their entirety and to provide access to the pagination controls. Margin on the right: When the alphabetical shortcuts are disabled on the right side, there is some empty space left over which seems strange when it suits no purpose. It would seem logical to remove that placeholder if the current view disables the Alphabetical shortcuts. |

I noticed on mobile - the space for paging is scares (depending on item count and resolution). Demo with higher values and some older shittier/low-res devices are even worse If you go to pages and paging has normally maybe 24/48/72/100/120 or so (depends on preference). Let's go with low 24 (2/3/4/6/8 word for a full row)
With even more If you have no life → even higher value
With current text PS: I used rotten fruit setting, because mini sounded small as preset Edit - My current patch <Box>
{globalize.translate(
'ListPagingSmall',
Math.ceil(recordsStart / limit),
Math.ceil(totalRecordCount / limit)
)}
