I emerged audacious last night. I've been an xmms user since I started |
| 34 |
using Linux back in 2003, so I wanted something xmms-like. I like |
| 35 |
audacious except for one tiny detail; the GUI window is tiny and I can't |
| 36 |
seem to make it bigger. Whenever I click the area that made xmms |
| 37 |
bigger, it just tells me that DOUBLESIZE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Will it be |
| 38 |
in the future? |
