• monochromatic/theme agnostic
• xrun flag (small notificatoin dot)
• started/stopped flag (e.g. strike through)

Translations + local formats + RTL layout

The extension fails to initialize in some situations, like

• jackdbus not available
• jackdbus fails to start (e.g. with PipeWire)

These should be properly caught and displayed as an error, potentialy with a "try again" button to reinitialize the extension.

Should provide useful information to the user, especially beginners.

Inside the menu:

• selection of configuration profile
• cogwheel button to open configuration window

Configuration window:

• responsive
• intuitive to beginners, should follow a similar scheme as the GNOME sound settings
• separate from extension configuration?
• profile-based configuration
• only dbus-controllable options
• setting for status refresh rate? Or rely on sane default?

DBus method JackControl.ResetXruns()

Design options:

• consistent with other action buttons
• xrun count as action button
• clear button next to xrun count

Only shown when xruns > 0.

Should be Super + J by default.

• Configurable display of transport clock / bpm
• transport buttons in menu
• forward/rewind when scrolling on panel widget (opt-out)
• remember widget can have arbitrarily small space, e.g. in material-shell

Until we have an official jackdbus interface for transport control:

• implement a simple libjack-based service that provides a dbus interface
• should be consistent with the rest of the jack API and dbus interfaces
• if the service is not installed, hide the feature completely
• never register as master

There should be an X button to dismiss the error message.
