Hi,
Cool... Perhaps we should talk more about what we have/want, as I was
thinking something very similar too this a few days ago. I was planning
a crossover between the default skin and the info skin. The default
skin is nice, but now, with the wide/large screens, there´s so much
room to show more information :-).
What happens when you dont have a fxd file?
btw.... the lyrics plugin was a nice thing too. I´m glad that someone
else coded it before I even got started :-).
