Yea I think some kind of overlay widget could probably be helpful for media apps. We should probably make a list of apps that already have something similar and try to find a common ground. 

Also, for every time you link to Google+, I'm going to reach through the Internet and slap you. Because its extremely painful to redirect through and it's extremely mobile unfriendly. 

Best Regards,

Harvey made a mockup of a slick little image viewer that used a similar UI element: http://goo.gl/IGAxf. Even if it's not proposed for Granite, I think making this a prepackaged widget could be really useful; we could predetermine some of the look and behavior (exact transparency, timing and animation for the slide-out/in, showing for a few seconds then sliding away, etc.).
