can you send me a PM describing a bit more about how you want the lyrics/ bio to behave and why it didnt work as expected. I am willing to spend some time looking at that
Have a look at my proposal that I wrote long time ago:
http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=7470.msg61024#msg61024
Also would anyone be interested if the new now playing assistant panel was integrated into the window rather than being a separate window?
If that can be drawn or overlaid on the window, it would make a wonderful addition to TM!
That's one option, but there is another one that I think is easier: create a new "gallery" item that reads images from a local folder (or modify the current one with new options), with optional controls to cycle between images (play/pause/fwd/back), transparency, time interval, fade time interval...
This could even allow to have an animated color overlay (like zune), just fading between 2 identical images with different colors., for example.
Obviously your proposal is more interesting, as it allows a lot more things (even configurable layouts), but is also more complex.
