[FEATURE REQUEST] button to shut down/hibernate/sleep always available

pierocol opened this issue · comments

It would be very useful if the action to power off the computer one way or another were always one click away. Currently, for example, if one is listening to music and the "Now Playing" screen is displayed, 4(!) screen taps are needed before one can power off the computer. My guess is that most users would always use one of the available processes (power off, hibernate or suspend). The best in my opinion would be to allow the user to select the preferred process as a setting and then always display the power off button, on all the screens.
Thank you very much for your consideration

Hi, thanks for you proposal. Obviously you're on iPhone/iPod -- on iPad the OnOff menu is already available from the bottom toolbar. The problem with iPhone is the lack of space to place further icons. I already use the Navigation bar for the remote and NowPlaying short cut icons. What can be done -- from a perspective of space, nothing tested so far -- is to add a shortcut to OnOff menu only to the Remote and the NowPlaying screens, there we still have place for 1 button left.

Thank you wutschel, Yes, I meant the iPhone. I do have an iPad and the idea came from it. Having a power off button for the Remote and Now Playing screens would be an excellent solution. i would improve the user experience remarkably in my opinion. Thank you very much for considering my suggestion
