Product's homepage

Here are some key features of "NowPlaying (improved)":

· General: Wallpaper changer (Sets wallpaper according to the current artist or album) (requires gconftool-2)
· General: History logging of the played tracks
· Skinning: Ability to edit the cover image right before showing it (so you can make more flexible skins)
· API: Updated/Improved most of them and added some more

Limitations:

· Listen: Next/Previous buttons don't work (The dbus call is correct but from that to the player something is not working fine.)
· Songbird: It works but the screenlet lags a lot. Although it uses MPRIS just like Exaile which runs fine.
