It uses Gtk2desklet (included) for transparency, so no extra compositing manager needed
funcgtkrcCreate script manages font, fg-color, icon theme and pixmaps.
To set some other location of the widget on the desktop, edit the main script.
Suggestions are welcome, then, I know nothing about the code.
Have fun!

There is a mess of confusing stuff on a search for "electrolize"
Is this for 32 bit or 64?
Will it run on Precise 5.7.1?
I could try it but I'm getting wary of downloading now and messing my stable system up.
Edit took a chance and it runs on 32 bit comes up as Mulimedia->PlayMusic_dt
Just plays whatever music files you choose
So Torm do you know where the code is stored at least . Is this a script or what?

Oomph...
I don't think there was a 64bit version of the gtk2desklet..
then there may be ( don't really remember, "roaming" at the moment)
source included with the initial package of library here:

then..
home folder under my-applications/bin/playmusic_dt/.. , to use any font you like (or have) ...
Or just comment out the line that manages the font, so it will use the system default
PlayMusic is a gtkdialog script, that is included with the gtkdialog doc/examples in devx.sfs usually, playmusic_dt is more or less the same thing -with less (minimal) features and a little different look..

I had read somewhere that gtk2desklet is NOT going to be supported anymore in future releases of gtk/gtkdialog. The one who has had posted this information had shown a example of how to do it instead of using gtk2desklet.torm wrote:Oomph...

Though I can't remember if I had read this on this here forum (probably in the gtk2desklet topic) or at a different place on the web, sorry.
It has worked for me until precise. In Puppies beyond precise, it won't be on top of all windows etc.pp.

"you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0) :lol:
No, but I gave my old drum kit away for free to a music store collecting instruments for refugees! :wink:

@Lazy Puppy
Looks like it works just fine with latest tahr (at least 32bit, no hardware to test 64..)
What good is "on top"... ?
One can pick a version of gtkdialog, or let the app figure it out
if the preferred version is present on the system or not.
Different versions can co-exist, as far I understand, or will the new version be
conflicting any prior installed? Can't tell if I'd care for Gtk3.0, at this point...
for example:PlayMusic_dt should ask directly for "gtkdialog" , not anything else,
I did not change that piece of the script.
And it sounds interesting, so please share some more info..?
