- background image support
- combine play/pause button (optional)
- make currentTime() update itself (if its possible)
- option to add shadow/reflection to text (if its possible. reflection like cover )
- themable progress bar (i dont tink this is possible, but would be great )
- change logo and logob.png within the themes xml file (like the buttons, oh and the gradient file also )
- for adding static (configurable over theme.xml) text like $trackname by $artist where by is the "static" text
- disable screensaver (as option vie right-click menu)

Is it possible to temporarily disable the screensaver when this is running ?

good feature request :)

Right now there exists a script to start amarokFS using right-click menu option, avilable at http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=52787

Here is a patch to disable the screensaver:

I've uploaded a new version to kde-apps.org which makes the theme change much easier.

- background image support

maybe later, currently there are more important things..

- combine play/pause button (optional)

you can do it yourself - just leave out the play button

- make currentTime() update itself (if its possible)
- for adding static (configurable over theme.xml) text like $trackname by $artist where by is the "static" t

done

- option to add shadow/reflection to text (if its possible. reflection like cover )

currently not possible. The whole reflection thing ist just one ugly hack... I have to rewrite the code and make it more flexible. Unfortunately qt3 doesn't handle transparent png very well. 

- themable progress bar (i dont tink this is possible, but would be great )

this is very well possible, I'll see what I can do

- change logo and logob.png within the themes xml file (like the buttons, oh and the gradient file also )

logo.png and logoB are part of the relflection hack...

- disable screensaver (as option vie right-click menu)

this is the next thing on my list.

and thanks for the themes. I'll make a theme-pack and post it togehter with the program on kde-apps.org

@cyrus007: thanks a lot! I'll try your code tomorow.

but does pause then work as play-button when not in pause? and how can i define that pause uses the image from the play-button when not in pause?

anyways... version 0.3:
