Features:

  • Animated auto show/hide

  • Auto position to the left

  • Auto sizing for every resolution

  • Hover with mouse to show controls

  • Icon to show iTunes

  • Click on the Album art to Pin the Bar. Click again to Unpin it. (Only works when "Auto Hide" Setting enabled)


(Tip: if you want to hide it immediately, just move your mouse over the bar and then move out.)

ToDo:
- Repeat, Shuffle buttons (when repeat function in Bowtie gets fixed - it's broken now)

Note: title and artist text style may be different a little, related to your Bowtie version. (I recommend Bowtie 1.4beta)
