Display title played on all runing applications title bar

Is it possible to display the title and artist of the actually played song with ITunes in the top bar of an other running application?
Thanks
Willy

You're talking about on your computer, right?
Short answer, no. Clearly it's possible for any given app to do it (you can programmatically retrieve the name of the current song, as demonstrated by IM clients that change your status to the name of the current song), but in general, apps don't do it.
If you're looking for a way to simply keep the name of the current song visible, check out mini player. Personally, I switch to mini player (by pressing ctrl-m), make it wide enough that it shows the track info, and in iTunes preferences, in the advanced section I tell iTunes to keep mini player on top of other apps. Functionally accomplishes something close to what you want, where the name of the current song is always visible. You just need to find a location on your screen that the mini player is least obtrusive.

  • Xfe Not Displaying Title Bar

    Ok, new problem.  I have xfe installed but when it starts up it is in the very upper left corner of the screen with no title bar(and hence no way to move it around or minimize it and what not), I tried forcing it with <decor>yes</decor> in the rc.xml for openbox but it was a no go...  Anythoughts?  Thanks in advance for your time.

    No, no. You can have windows decorations, but I have seen several bugs in which the decorations disappear, so you'll have to identify what is causing it and then you'll probably find a solution here or in the wiki.
    That time I had the same problem I had to add an option like 'addargbxvisuals' or something like that to the nvidia-driver section of my xorg.conf.

  • Display of push button in the application tool bar in an ALV report

    Hello everyone,
    Query:
    Is it possible to display a custom push button in the application tool bar while displaying an ALV report(1st one)?
    On pressing this custom push button will I be able to display another ALV report(2nd one) based on the selection made on the current ALV report(1st one)?

  • Help! Screen won't display title, artist etc only Now Playing.

    Hope you can help. I've only had my nano for a few days and it was great to start with, but when I'm playing music the screen will only display Now Playing and the album cover and the centre button does not do anything at all. Any suggestions?

    Try re-setting it first:
    1) Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2) Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    There's a fuller explanation of resetting here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
    If that doesn't work you may have to restore your iPod to factory settings. That will erase what is currently on it and return it to how it was when you first got it which should clear whatever is going on: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983

  • Is there a way to modify the name displayed in the Title Bar at the top of the Audition Window?

    It's not uncommon for me to have a copy of Audition versions 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 all open at the same time if I'm doing some editing for a complex project. 
    It would be handy for me to quickly see which window I have open without having to recognise the icons of the different versions.  At the moment, each Title Bar just displays the Audition icon and the words "Adobe Audition".  I'd like to add the version number to the name, if it's possible.  I'm happy to edit the Windows Registry, if that is what is needed.
    Does anybody know where the Title Bar information is stored?

    I have an answer you might like Howard.
    You could simply export one title to a PRTL file, then duplicate it using an Excel VB macro to change the name of the file based on a list in an excel file. You could type in a couple of dates, then just drag down to the 365th row and all of the dates would be there waiting for the macro to rename the file. Then, if you are really talented, you could find the appropriate text in the XML file and change it to match the name of the title, but without the PRTL extension.
    That way the font and position and style would all be right and the effort would be in a file you could share with the world.
    Hmmm. I might have to try that myself one of these days. Could come in handy. If you are more comfortable with Word than Excel, create the dates in Excel and paste them into a table in Word. Just be careful not to mess up the
    Edit: Oh, and of course, you import the titles back into Premiere Pro.

  • Can I change title bar content in an application window? [SOLVED]

    I know this isn't Arch-specific, but I thought there might be somebody out there who can help me. I use KDE 3.5.7.
    I use Evolution for my work e-mail and Thunderbird for my personal e-mail. I like to keep these spheres entirely separate. The problem is that the title bar for both e-mail clients starts with "Inbox ..." If I have several apps open simultaneously and want to open Evolution or Thunderbird by clicking on the task bar, it takes me a minute to figure out which "Inbox" I need, especially when there are so many apps open that part of the title bar is covered up.
    Is there a way to change the content of an application's title bar?
    Thanks.

    Very promising, but I'm afraid this add-on won't work with current versions of Thunderbird. Is there anyone out there who can (1) update this add-on or (2) help me do so? Thanks.
    I'd prefer to go this route than editing the source, since Thunderbird appears to be entangled with all kinds of Mozilla-ish stuff.

    Three issues here.  The pre-pending is useless when selecting songs to play, plus it.takes up much of the admittedly limited space in my on-screen menu.  Since it doesn't help me select a song to play, it simply prevents more relevant info from being displayed in that area.  However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
    JCP,
    Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file.  From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange.  You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
    If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

  • Dynamic Prompt/Label/Display title

    Hi JHeadStart team,
    I use UIX and 100% of my application is generated by JHeadStart.
    I have a little problem.
    Which it's the best way to change "label, prompt, column header, display title" manually.
    Because this information is stocked in a table of the database.
    Regards,
    Luc

    Luc,
    I am not sure I understand your question. Do you want to read the prompts and labels at runtime from a database table?
    If so, you should generate your JHeadstart application with nls turned on and you should use a java class as resource bundle type (extending java.util.ResourceBundle). Then, JHeadstart will read the prompts, labels and display titles from this resource bundle that is generated for you.
    You can add code to your resource bundle class to read the actual strings from a database table instead of hardcoded into the message bundle. Not a trivial task though....

  • How do I get TITLE BAR ONLY to display for a window (without minimizing the whole window)?

    I want ONLY the title bar to show, then resize to normal then shrink when I ask it to.
    JIM

    Here is an extension that you can control which toolbars show in '''Full Screen''' mode ("'''F11'''), and in what he calls '''zombie mode''' which I would call '''Full Window''' mode ("'''Shift+F11'''")
    This is with Menus showing.
    The title bar will show in zombie mode, not in Full Screen mode ("F11")
    The change that I make in the options myself is that the tabs bar always shows
    I like to see the title bar normally but in either of those two with the tbs bar displayed, I can hover over the active tab to see what the title actually is.v

  • I want to hide the blue title bar from my adobe air application

    Hello
    I'm doing an aplication with Flash CS4, using adobe air in as3. I have some frames, and in the frame 25 there's a stop, when user clicks a button, go ahead to frame 27 and stage resize the whole screen, just like a FULL_SCREEN, and then I load an pdf. I can't use FULL_SCREEN or FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE property, because doesn't works the pdf loaded (even adobe help say it), so I would like to simulate it. The application it will be use in windows ( I am not sure if XP, vista, but windows). So when resize the stage, to load pdf, then and ONLY then, I want the title bar disappears, just to simulate full_screen.
    How can I do, to make in a desktop application that ?
    Thanks in advance

    Open the Air Application descriptor file(eg: airproject-app.xml) for your application and
    uncomment the <systemChrome></systemChrome> tag.
    Set it to none like:
    <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
    It will work.

  • How do you make the title bar display different text than the page title?

    I'm looking for a way for the title bar display of my web page to be different than the text in the actual nav bar created by iWeb. For instance, I'd like the nav bar to just say Home for my main page, but in the title bar in the browser say "blah blah blah."
    I know there has to be a way to do this. iWeb has actually done it on one page already, but I can't figure out how. I think it picked up the title bar text from the first text box in the page. For instance, the page name in the navigation bar is "blahs for today" but the browser title bar when you open that page says "blah blah," which happens to be the first line of text on the page. The page title in iWeb.app, though, is "blahs for today." But if I look at the source code it lists title as "blah blah."
    I'm guessing I might be able to work around by making an invisible text box with the text that I want in the title bar as the very first thing on the page, and hope iWeb makes that the title bar text. I'd rather have a more correct way of doing it.
    Is there a way of doing this in the source code without having to change a lot of stuff?
    Thanks for any help.

    Richard ~ The key is the default Title box that iWeb creates for every new page — it's that which you need to edit, not another text box you've created. And to make the text in that Title box invisible, see here.
