Title: lyrics in theater view/ display view?
Post by: Osho on May 24, 2009, 04:11:31 pm

Hi,

Has anyone found a way to display lyrics in the TheaterView or DisplayView? I would ideally like to be able to put Karaoke style lyrics which change on the screen as the song progresses. If that is not possible, I would like a way to see lyrics on the screen which I can scroll up and down with a remote and I can read from the couch.

Thanks,
Osho

It can be done to some extent, as a warped concept.:) (here using "All I Need" for track info)

You can get better results tweaking the template I guess but otherwise it has no practical reason to be there, you can't read anything on a TV. It would be much more elegant to have some *cough*, skinning options for this (displaying metadata, that is)

When they get around to allowing customisaiton of the file info display in theatre view this should be possible without needing to resort to track info templates (although nice idea Daydream :) Which skin is that? Haven't seen it before...)
