   Are you referring to the tool-tip that appears when you hover the mouse over the menu bar control buttons and iTunes is not playing?

   (By the way, 3.2.1 is now out.)

   No, I was referring to the floater. Thanks!

   I'm wondering what settings you have to make this message appear in the floater because I never see it. Do you have the floater set to display "always"? Or you actually talking about a Growl notification?

   If you want to email me your preferences file (~/Library/Preferences/org.wincent.Synergy.plist) I'll take a look at your settings and see if I can reproduce this here.

   Yes, I do have the floater set to display 'always'. I will email you the .plist file. Thanks!

   Ok, so what are you proposing then as an alternative? Should the floater itself disappear (which might seem counterintuitive seeing as it is set to show "always")? Should just the text go away (in which case the floater will just be an empty box, which might not look so good)? How do you actually want it to look?

   The ideal solution may be to simply add the option to turn off the song title, leaving just the album artwork. Currently, that's the only piece of information that isn't an option to turn off. This would leave only the album artwork visible (which might be desirable to some, including me), but would also hide the 'iTunes status: not playing' message. That would leave an question-mark graphic if iTunes wasn't playing, which would be perfectly acceptable.

   Either way, thank you for considering this!

   OK, thanks for clarifying.
