Create an iTunes song info bezel with free tools

A better way to make your own iTunes icon is this:
Locate your copy of iTunes, ctrl-click and choose "Show Package Contents". Nagivate:
Contents > Resources > iTunes.icns
Open this file with Preview. Select the first "page". Export this as a PNG and move the exported file to:
~/Library -> Application Support -> LanOSD -> icons folder.

Synergy

Why not use Synergy? http://synergy.wincent.com/
It doesn't cost all that much and I think its worth every penny.

BTW, I have no affiliation with Synergy. This is just an unsolicited recommendation.

I don't want to take up even more menu bar space (It's packed as it is there), and I had to feed the "hacker" within me ;)

Just to note that it doesn't have to take up any space. I value my menu space as well.

Another good alternative is SizzlingKeys4iTunes by Yellow Mug (both free and paid versions).

Personally, I'm most thrilled to find out about LanOSD - I'm looking forward to putting it to good use.

This does look like a Synergy knockoff. With Synergy, you can customize the floater, and you can include the artwork.

It's just $5.
