Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

My connection to the ABS websocket connection occasionally fails when on my work network, this is just due to the company proxy.

This brought up a little bit of a design issue, the placement of the "socket connected/disconnected" popup.

Currently it's located at the bottom centre of the web interface, this covers up the web player controls.

I was wondering if this might be simply moved to the top right corner perhaps?

Why would this be helpful?

When the message is up, it's still possible to play the audio and it'd be useful to use the controls to pause/play/skip when this message comes up.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

See below and just place it under the username in the top right corner.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.30.0

I had this same thing happen recently and agree, it's frustrating. Would be best if moved.
