## Description

Glissando is a glass-style audio player with a real-time animated visualizer. Add
players anywhere with the Gutenberg block, the Elementor widget, or the `[glissando]`
shortcode.

**Features**

 * Artwork and Compact player presets
 * Dark and light themes, six color palettes, custom colors
 * Solid visualizer bars with adjustable bar count
 * Visualizer tuning: animation speed, frequency range, low cut
 * Card styling: hover and glass tint colors, corner radius, shadows, background
   opacity
 * Download button (icon/text styles, second file, download counter)
 * Gutenberg block, Elementor widget and `[glissando]` shortcode
 * Scalable

**Everything you can tweak**

Every setting below has a control in the block sidebar, the Elementor widget and

the shortcode. Settings – Glissando holds the site-wide defaults that new players
start from, and any player can override them.

_Audio and text_

 * Track from the media library or any external URL
 * Title and artist, filled in automatically from the media metadata
 * Album artwork, square or 16:9, with zoom (1-2.5x) and vertical position

_Layout_

 * Artwork or Compact preset
 * Alignment: left, center or right in its column
 * Adapts to the column it sits in – scalable

_Colors_

 * Dark or light theme
 * Six visualizer palettes: aurora, sunset, fire, candy, ocean, mono
 * Multi-color gradients of your own
 * Glass tint color and button hover color

_Visualizer_

 * Bar count from 32 to 160
 * Animation speed, from real time to slow drift
 * Frequency range and low cut – trim the deep bass off the left edge

_Card customization settings_

 * Background opacity
 * Corner radius
 * Shadow size and strength

_Downloads_

 * Download button on or off
 * Icon, text or both, with your own label
 * A second downloadable file (e.g. instrumental) with its own label
 * Download counter per track

_Accessibility_

 * Keyboard-operable play, seek and volume, with visible focus rings
 * Respects the system “reduce motion” accessibility setting

A separately sold Pro version adds further player layouts (Standard, Minimal,
 Radial),
playlists, the LED and Dots bar styles and a share button.

### Source code

None of this plugin’s own code is minified, compiled or obfuscated. Every PHP,
 
JavaScript and CSS file I wrote is the original human-readable source, and it uses
no third-party JavaScript libraries.

There is one generated value: the `GLISSANDO_CSS` string near the top of
 assets/
glissando.js. The player renders inside a Shadow DOM so that themes cannot break
it, and a Shadow DOM cannot see enqueued stylesheets, so the stylesheet has to be
injected as a string.

The readable source for that string is bundled with the plugin, uncompressed, at

assets/glissando.css. `GLISSANDO_CSS` is that same stylesheet encoded as a JavaScript
string literal – the rules, selectors, comments and formatting are identical, so
the two can be read side by side.

The build step is bundled too, as `bake-css.js` in the plugin folder. It needs
 
Node.js and nothing else: no npm install, no dependencies, no bundler. After editing`
assets/glissando.css`, run this from the plugin folder to regenerate the string:

    ```
    node bake-css.js<h3>External services</h3>
    ```

This plugin uses Freemius to handle licensing, plugin updates and optional
 usage
diagnostics.

No data is sent unless you opt in. Freemius is contacted when you accept its
 opt-
in prompt on activation, or if you later connect a Pro licence or start a trial.
When that happens it sends your site URL, the WordPress and PHP versions, this plugin’s
version, and the email address of the account you connect with. Declining the prompt
leaves the plugin fully functional.

## FAQ

### Does it work with any theme?

Yes. The player renders in a Shadow DOM, so theme styles cannot break it.

### Do I have to set every option on every player?

No. Settings – Glissando holds the defaults for the whole site; a player only
 carries
the settings you change on it.

### Does it fit in a narrow sidebar column?

Yes. The player measures the column it is in, not the browser window, so it
 lays
out the same in a 300px sidebar on a desktop as it does on a phone.

### Can visitors download the track?

If you turn the download button on. You can label it, show it as an icon, text
 
or both, offer a second file alongside it, and show how many times each track has
been downloaded.

## Changelog

#### 1.2.8

 * The plugin icon now shows on the Plugins and Dashboard – Updates screens instead
   of a placeholder.

#### 1.2.7

 * The actions button no longer appears when both downloads and share are off — 
   it used to open an empty bubble.

#### 1.2.6

 * Narrow columns: the volume slider now hides by column width, not viewport width,
   so the actions button stops wrapping to a second line in a narrow Elementor column.
 * Radial preset: download/share collapse behind the actions button like every other
   preset, so nothing spills outside the card at small sizes.
 * Radial preset: artwork vertical position slider now applies (and shows up in 
   the Elementor widget).

#### 1.2.5

 * First release on WordPress.org.
