Good afternoon mister.

I recently bought a new mac and got access to Snow leopard and amongst some others, hotTunes doesn’t seem to fully support Snow (or rather: Snow doesn’t support hotTunes) when it comes to controlling the fonts both in the preferences and in rendering. I like the “philosophy” of the application and it has nice features that i can configure as i wish… The only thing i can complain about is controlling the appearance… And now that seems to have be crippled by the Snow as well. Are you aware of the problem? Do you have any plans on an update? If not do you have any tips on any other similar applications? Or are you willing to open the source? And to tell you how i think: If you fix my issue and you say you will support Lion (since it’s coming, running towards us) i am more than willing to pay for your nice little app.

Sincerely

viktor

a menu item to not fill up the dock (but instead the menu-bar!) would perhaps also fit people

..and still have the ability to access the menu

with hope for some response, peace

but since i can set the color/opacity i can settle as long as i can control the width or proportions of some kind of the text and image (i have used the “music video” display with growl for ByteController) text alignment would perhaps also be able to increase the readability..

a menu item to not fill up the dock (but instead the menu-bar!) would perhaps also fit people

keep up the good work, peace
