![]() The original script seemed a repetitive when it came to showing the blank art, so I streamlined the logic a bit.I wanted the blank art displayed when iTunes was paused. The original AppleScript would show the album cover of the current track even when iTunes was paused.With the change to PICT, I decided that the “blank art” file should be a single pixel file with the color of the pixel set to match my desktop color. ![]() The original used a transparent TIFF to display when there was no album art-as when iTunes is off or paused.The first comment to the article mentioned that this was unnecessary, and I altered the script to keep the art in PICT format. The original AppleScript converts the art from PICT to TIFF.The setup is basically that described in the OSX Hints article, but I made a few changes: The text comes from my previous GeekTool arrangement, and the album art is from today’s additions. The lower right corner of my desktop now looks like this: I already had GeekTool set up to display the name, artist, and album of the current track-described here-but this seemed like a fun addition. For reasons I can’t quite remember, I came across this post on Mac OSX Hints, which describes a way of taking the iTunes album cover art of the currently playing song and putting on your desktop through GeekTool.
