minimal views of decks with library maximized

[Be]

It would be helpful to show condensed views of decks when the library is maximized to aid with selecting the next track. I propose that these condensed decks would show the overview waveform, BPM, key. If there is room, they could also show cover art or title+artist.

Now that I'm about to finish the Tango update https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1330, I'd like to implement this, as well.

IMO those decks should show
[Title / Artist] [Key*] [BPM*] *if enabled in normal view
[Waveform overview] [Remaining time] [Play button/indicator]
So they would look a bit like collapsed samplers.

Someone started this for now outdated LateNight, but this there hasn't been any progress for quite a while...

I'm not convinced this is necessary anymore now that we have better designed skins that don't require so much vertical space for decks.

In a regular setup it's IMO at least decks and FX section consuming vertical space , so I still like the idea of minimal decks.
Maybe with this layout:

[ title / artist ] [BPM] [ play ]
[ progress bar + remaining time ] [key] [button]

I think this gives sufficient information to find a matching track,
how much time's left to do so & to make a transition.
