During their work on the linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets repository, Raphael developed and released a Cinnamon Media Controls Applet that enables users to manage playback and view track information for any MPRIS2-compatible media player directly from the Cinnamon panel. Leveraging JavaScript, DBus integration, and front-end development skills, Raphael implemented features such as multi-player support, real-time display of song and artist details, and intuitive playback controls. In a subsequent update, Raphael introduced a customizable Media Player Settings Menu, allowing users to tailor the applet’s appearance and behavior. The work demonstrated thoughtful UI/UX design and maintainable code structure, though no bugs were reported.
