hotTunes 2.3 is available
A new version of hotTunes, version 2.3, is available on the hotTunes page. The Info window is now displayed properly on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I’ve also simplified the process of saving and loading custom hot key sets.

saw this on macapper.com and it seems great with the customizable shortcuts and different information-panes which almost eliminates the preference for growl; still it would be nice for the app to be able to make use of the one third-part notification-system for os x.. the updating position/time might be a pickle with it though, but then again one could just present the position/time of the invocation, right?
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

i dont know what this has to do with the systems bezel services (just a thought) but another thing with growl is that it can allow click-transparency in (some of?) it’s display-styles.. that’s neat.. it can also notify the poster of clicks but i have only used the cli and applescript-interface (where that is unimplemented) and few apps that i use with growl use the feature so i dont know how it works..
..and still have the ability to access the menu
with hope for some response, peace

Just wrote this in a mail but before i sent it i noticed i have written here before so i might as well do now too.
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
