Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating Hypnotix's existing window, playback-control, and channel-navigation implementation, then determine how a minimal viewing mode and always-on-top behavior fit together. Done means the requested controls and return-to-classic action work reliably in the compact window.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be highly beneficial if Hypnotix could offer an option to minimize its interface to the bare essentials for viewing the stream only. This minimal interface should include a small bar with the following buttons:

  • Pause
  • Stop
  • Next Channel
  • Previous Channel
  • Volume slider
  • A button to return to the classic mode
  • A button to enable the "always on top" feature

The "always on top" feature is crucial for watching TV in a small window placed in the corner of the screen while working on other software. As the old FreetuxTV program did.
