You can still use the IR remote though. Mmmh, this sounds problematic: 1. The last solution (to replace the Standard Now Playing screen with a Custom Clock style) would be the best way but is no option, if the touch screen cannot be used. 2. Designing the screen saver with the small font (used with the touch screen) has the following problem: If you sit far away from the Touch you cannot read the display. And if you use the remote the screen saver will be deactivated and the font will be changed to the big version, but the COMPOSER and GROUPING tags will no longer be displayed (because the screen saver is deactivated). So you never will be able to read the COMPOSER and GROUPING of the currently playing song. 3. Designing the screen saver with the big font (used with the remote) will result that even if you are sitting close to the Touch always the big font is used until you touch the display. This would result in a lot of horizontally scrolling and a bad optical experience. And I assume that in this case you need always an additional touch of the display if you want to control the box using the touch display, since you mentioned that the Custom Clock applet doesn't offer any possibility to have touch controls (this is probaly also true if the screen saver is designed with the small font).
The problem seems to be that there isn't a way to replace parts of the now playing screen (define your own text lines) or to replace the whole now playing screen with the possibility to define touch control buttons, but that only a screen saver is used which covers the now playing screen. Is there no way to define the strings which are displayed in the now playing screen? Could the Information Screen applet help in this case?
