Hi,
First off, great skin just switched to this from 'backrow', mainly because of the ease of use for the extrafanart whilst playing music. I am wondering if it would be possible whilst playing music with the extrafanart slideshow enabled to have 'title track' and 'artist' randomly display across the screen? Also add in 'coming next' and 'time elapsed'!!!! This would be awsome if it would be possible to implement this so it displays at certain time intervals and at random positions within the screen Smile

Yes thanks for that it's exactly what meant. Will have a look at it when I get the time. Just one question, dose that work with extra fanart enabled also? I really want a slide show of artist images showing whilst playing my music. Kinda like the zune player app on the xbox360 if you know what I mean?
Edit:- Is this available yet as I don't seem to be able to find it

Any updates on adding this efect to Transparency? Lightbox skin seems to be dead and I think this would really add some extra eye candy Smile
