Hi Mathias, Great idea and good work so far - it works on my desktop with Python 2.5 and Compiz-Fusion. The only real bug that I noticed is that the forward/back/pause icons do not appear, although blank boxes do show up, and they function as these buttons. I got this behaviour both with my custom icon set (Gion) and the default "Human" set (I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy). Other than that, I hope you don't mind if I make a few suggestions: - it'd be nice to have an option to place the display anywhere on the desktop. Mine is pretty cluttered on the left hand side, so even with "align_right" selected in DesktopControl.py, I end up with the writing for the album art on top of various icons. - when I hit "show desktop", the album art is hidden - I'm not sure how you'd make it stick to the desktop, but it seems like it should. - when the music is paused, the icon switches to the default Rhythmbox logo (really nitpicky, but maybe it could display the art of the currently selected album?)
Otherwise, I like it! Looking forward to seeing more of your work, Charlotte On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 9:13 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have started to work on a new plugin.
