Just another update on progress for 2.0. I will try to make a post every week or 2 since the majority of the work I am doing is UI related which leads to some neat screen shots. Besides the following major points, there have also been a lot of minor tweaks to the UI.
With all the UI options that will be available, I want to make it as easy as possible for users to configure the look of GMMP. So I have added theme templates which will automatically set all the UI settings to specific values. There will be templates for all the current GMMP skins plus a bunch of new ones. I will also add in the ability to save templates so the user can easily change back and forth between different themes.
In addition to the new UI, I also added new file monitoring and syncing with the android media library. GMMP now listens for new files to be added to the android media library and will kick off a scan when that does occur. GMMP's library views will update with the new music within a minute of the files being transferred to the device.
That is it for now but here are some more screen shots
Tinted status bar
Kit added the ability to make the status bar translucent, which allows the action bar color to be extended to the top of the display. Any theme using a colored action bar theme will be able to enable the tinted status bar.

New Scanner UI
The scanner was one of the first things written for GMMP (0.11 Alpha or earlier) and it was not the easiest thing to use. I completely redid the scanner UI and made it much easier to select the folders you want the scanner to scan and ignore.In addition to the new UI, I also added new file monitoring and syncing with the android media library. GMMP now listens for new files to be added to the android media library and will kick off a scan when that does occur.
