Feature request #576: REQUEST: Display lyrics of current song in a sticky growl notification

Kind feature request

Description

That feature will be added in the menubar (when you control+click the controls), displaying a sticky growl notification with the lyrics (searching the lyrics if they don't are in iTunes, or with options in the pref. pane, to turn on the lyric searching or iTunes song's lyrics)

That will be great, because if you have work of you are occupied you can't be reading the lyrics in the iTunes info window, so a sticky notification will be useful to make another thing with the currrent lyrics waiting for you.

    Thanks for submitting the idea, Bastian.

    Although I think the Growl thing would work, it is pretty limited because most of the notification styles that Growl provides limit that amount of text that can be displayed to much less than the length of a set of lyrics for a song (the rest of the output is truncated).

    So although it could be down with Growl, I think to be done well Synergy would need to provide a window/bezel of its own showing the lyrics which would handle the quantities of text required.

    Marking as ASSIGNED.

    Adding "REQUEST:" to the summary.

    That amount of lines of text is a option in the growl pref. pane (in the visualisation options), and can be turned on or off, to display more than 5 lines in a notification (i think is off by default).

    Adding that to the Synergy bezels would be great, but i still thinking in growl notifications, because in old computers (i have a g3) the bezels works a bit slow... but i will be happy anyways :P

    I changed my mind, its a better idea to add the lyrics in a Synergy notification, because of you can create (i think) buttons to the bezel (like a rezise button, a close button, etc), and i tested again the Synergy bezels (without having Windowserver overloaded xD) and they worked cool.

    Adding dependency on bug #30.
