Having just finished my exams, I'm still catching up with recent plasma developments. I'd suggest #plasma on IRC (irc.freenode.org) for asking questions. @Dennis:

But the version in KDE 4.0.80 doesn't seem to include the patch you're talking about here. Where can I get it? I want my plasmoid to resize nicely as well. If you can point me to any resources that'd be great! I’m trying to implement my own widget, and I’ve gotten some inspiration from nowplaying.

Some of it is a bit far-fetched (like sheep/she), but I really liked the Richard Gere at the beginning :-) Actually, I have (unwittingly) missung lyrics. "So good, I just can't turn it off". Good thing I found out about the correct lyrics about three hours before the concert :-) Well found.

The only similarity, really, is the location of the controls (including the progress and volume slider). Even that's not really the same, since iTunes has the controls to one side, whereas they're central in Amarok. I personally find the iTunes interface annoying, and don't like Songbird particularly because it mimicks iTunes. Amarok, on the other hand, has one of the most usable interfaces I've come across and the changes in version 2 are only making it better, in my opinion. @Omar: I don’t see how it’s ripping off iTunes.

Don't get me wrong, i love amarok, it's an exceptional player but it's too bad this soft doesn't get a exceptional GUI. Let's dig the QT4 capabilities... if i find my old C++ book :) mmh, there is no ways to not ripp off iTunes design? really?

Currently, I only have the "currently playing" widget there, but you can add things like a tag cloud, Last.FM recommended artists, etc. @furanku: you can put things there.

The screenshot looks a little bit like all informations and useful GUI elements crowd around a totally useless gimmick. That doesn't look very well arranged.
