I mean, some other options that will make parole more useful and with movie player replacement.

* Option to change subtitles position over the screen (may be and on black borders)
* Option to change outline and shadow settings
* Option to change line-height size
* Option to change hinting (antialias) for fonts

And one more not in topic with subtitles but useful, an option to store current playlist on exit, and restore in on start

These options aren't possible now, at least with the current GStreamer playbin, maybe playbin2 will have such options, i'll this in mind.

You have it already, you can select by right clicking on the playlist view.

There are several subtitle-options available now (font-size, font-face). While we're working to improve the situation (specifically open subtitles from a file), I think the defaults for position, hinting and outline are really fine.

If you want to provide a patch I'd be happy to look into it though.

Bug #6080
