DESCRIPTION
DesktopLyrics is an application that displays the lyrics of the song currently playing in "iTunes" right on your desktop. The lyrics for the song have to be set in iTunes, DesktopLyrics does nothing to fetch them if they aren't available in iTunes. If you don't want to type-in all your lyrics manually you can use an application like "Harmonic" or "GimmieSomeTune" .

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.2:
  • IMPORTANT: The minimum system requirements have been raised to Mac OS X 10.5.
  • IMPORTANT: Do not directly upgrade from a release older than 1.0.2, or your preferences won't be taken over
  • Completely reimplemented the communication with iTunes based on the "ScriptingBridge" for improved performance and reliability
  • Added 64-bit support (on Intel), but by defaults starts in 32-bit mode. To change this use the "Get Info" panel in the Finder on SMARTReporter
  • Added option to change the current lyrics page with the arrow keys (when DesktopLyrics is the front application)
  • Added the specified text shadow to the page index text as well
  • Fixed the CrashReport sending facility to only send "real" crashes
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

RORO01  The application quits on launch - something that didn't happen with the previous version. iMac Intel 10.4.11

RORO01  MANY THANKS!

This is what I was looking for. The transparent window is in fact the big advantage. The developer should add "launch iTunes automatically" to Preferences to make the application even better.

NOSRAC  Very nice idea using the desktop rather than a window. Full with features (text color/font/size, multiple screen support/changing anchors)

Discard My Stability Rating because I've only been using it for a few hours ;-)
