That button layout works really well on the Bip at least
Buttons that size would work fine on the Bangle.js 2, but
1) tapping the whole screen is always much easier than hitting a button
2) Bangle.js 1 already uses the left side to go back (setUI again), and hitting the middle might also be a bit tricky.
Having actual buttons on screen is a lot clearer than having to figure out swipes though. I think I'll probably add those bottom buttons, but keep tapping anywhere else for play/pause and swipe-to-next still work.
Do people actually go "back"? I know it seems a logical complement to "next", but one of the reasons I didn't mind dropping it was that I didn't think it would get actual use.
edit: looks like setUI actually doesn't handle swipes, so at least swiping "back" should be fine.
