QCustomPlayerBar
A NOW-PLAYING transport bar.
The signature music-app footer: a rounded bar with, left-to-right, the current track's COVER + TITLE/ARTIST, a transport cluster (PREV, a big circular PLAY/PAUSE, NEXT), an elapsed/total SEEK slider you can click and drag, and a right cluster of FAVOURITE, SHUFFLE, REPEAT and VOLUME toggles. Every glyph is PAINTED as a vector (no font/unicode icons) so it recolours on a theme switch and stays crisp at any DPI. Seek + toggles are live and emit Qt signals — wire them to a real QMediaPlayer.
Signals: playToggled(bool), nextClicked(), prevClicked(), seeked(float 0..1),
favoriteToggled(bool), shuffleToggled(bool), repeatToggled(bool),
volumeClicked(). Configure via title, artist, coverPath, position,
elapsedText, totalText, playing, favorite, shuffle, repeat.
