As we have all these functions (CTIME, PLAYS etc) how about an infotex scroller which reads a line from config.ini and scrolls the contents - string and variables?

Like:

Infoscroll "Linux is groovy and Win blows" or

Infoscroll "current track is"TRACKNAME,PLAYS

Doable? Desirable?

good idea, kinda like the scrolling marque screen saver, but have strings in there for differnt things, like Time. Artist . Year, Type of visual. then keep it to one infotex visual so you dont have to scrool thru 10 of them to get the right one you want.

It would be nice to have a scriptable display mode where you can plug in different text items. I'd really like to have a clock on the display as well as the elapsed time for the track. In the Now & Next mode, there's a spot where the time could go without having to move anything..
