That sounds good to me. I've been thinking of writing a new plugin that allows better selection of now playing screen items from the player UI. I know there's a plugin alternative already for a different now playing screen, but I don't think it's easy to adjust the display on the fly. Ultimately, I'd like to configure a few layout formats, and select between these easily from the player UI. One of the layout formats I'd like would be one that would display the current time instead of the now playing time remaining. It would also be nice to see time elapsed/remaining for the current playlist (maybe even current album), rather than the current song. I was invisaging that the plugin would be invoked by pressing and holding now playing button. It would then provide a menu to select what to display on the screen. eg. a menu to select the title format, and one to select the elapsed/remaining information. I'd include options to briefly display the date/time, invoke lyrics, album and biography review plugins, and maybe RSS news plugin. I like things to be quick and easy to get to, rather than navigating through menus! Just ideas at the moment...!
