Sunamu is a Slick 'Now Playing' Widget for Your Desktop - OMG! Ubuntu!
Sunamu is a cross-platform desktop tool designed to be blingy first, practical second.
It shows whatever the currently playing song is (from any MPRIS compatible music player/client, e.g., Spotify, Rhythmbox, VLC, Elisa, etc) along with lyrics (fetched from an online source) on your desktop.
And that’s pretty much it!
Its own developers describe it as a “music controller whose only purpose is to look as fancy as possible on secondary displays”, and is popular with (and has some settings catering to) streamers in particular.
It displays lyrics for the playing track where possible, shows album art, has smooth transitions, and condenses down into a ‘mini’ mode when you mouse away from the widget. It can run as a windowed app (with a colourful background) I find it works best for me as a transparent desktop widget (which, helpfully, is the default setting).
You can drag the widget anywhere on your desktop, maximise it (by dragging it to the top of the display), and resize it (mouse near the edge to find the invisible resize grip).
