Casey, I don't know which music player you are using, but Amarok has a script that does just what you are trying to do. I am in gnome now, so I don't have the exact name. I do remember that it wasn't very hard to find in the first place, downloadable right from Amarok's script manager. Works acceptably well like a screen saver. It renders the album art and text with the track number, name, album, artist, etc. You can configure how big it is. I recommend this because you say it isn't worth acquiring the skills to do what want. So here is a turnkey solution. If you are interested and have trouble finding it, let me know and I'll get the details when I am working with my desktop. -- artAlexion sent unsigned from webmail interface ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
