Reports say that using Compiz on a 64-bit Virtualbox will trouble the progress bars and scrolling. However, using windowed mode (via the plugin preferences) should fix this.
- Activate the plugin.
- To enter full screen mode, find the menu item View->Full Screen.
- ...or simply hit F12
The plugin uses custom drawn Cairo widgets in a DrawableArea and idle callbacks for animations. Everything is therefore vector graphics.
If you find an error, please run Rhythmbox from terminal with the following option:
rhythmbox -D RhythmboxFullscreen
Thanks to fossfreedom for restructuring the plugin, packaging for Debian and tracking down bugs.
