For some reason I'm not picturing this in my head. Are you talking about something like the way SK Jukebox does it?
--- Quote ---Cool! I didn't know about the 00 cd option.
--- End quote ---
That's 'cause I haven't documented it yet. :)
--- Quote ---I would like to have the CD cover float around with the song info or maybe just the cover itself.

Hmm... good idea. I had been kicking around the idea, once custom displays are in place, to specify as many displays as you want on the screensaver and how they'd move around... so I'd just need to make "current album art" a display.
--- Quote ---Also can I adjust the colors on the default screen saver?
--- End quote ---
It selects from all colors; all you can adjust is how often they jump as opposed to changing smoothly. I suppose I could add an option to restrict the RGB ranges.. that way you could, say, keep the colors to shades of blue or purple, for example.
--- Quote ---One thing not on your to-do list - I'd like to have a 3 coin set-up like this
nickel = 1/2 or .5 credit
dime = 1 credit
quarter = 3 credits
Would it be possible to have half credits? 2 nickels = 1 credit
--- End quote ---
This would be easy enough to do... I've been asked for it before. I had been hesitant to implement it because it seems like it would be most useful for someone trying to build a commercial jukebox, not a home one.
If I did implement it, the display would not change until the full credit was entered; however, I could send a "fractional credit" message, allowing you to have an icon set to respond to that message to indicate the fractional credit.
--- Quote ---I'm almost done :). I think I may have found a bug, at least it is happening on my machine. When "random" is pressed while a song is playing the credits do not adjust in the display until the song changes or I page up or down. The credits do adjust, the display just doesn't change.
--- End quote ---
This does sound like a bug, like a "display refresh" is being missed. Should be easy to find and fix.
Thank you for the comments!

And indeed it was; the fix will be in the next version I post.

arbitrary number of displays = more than 1 monitor? (or am i setting my hopes too high ;D

Yes, you are getting your hopes too high. :)
In this context, "displays" are the display on the simulated jukebox, the four dot-natrix sections showing info about the currently playing song, the song queue, etc. Right now, you can resize, move, or disable displays, but there are always exactly four, and you cannot specify their contents. Ideally, you'd be able to set up any number of them and define the information that appears in them.
