KoverSS creates an image according to the current song played in Amarok, enhancing visual aesthetics using album cover art.
With KoverSS, you can create a screen saver that will let you see the name of the song that is currently playing. This is particularly useful for those who have their TV connected to their computer as they can see the details of the song on their TV screen. However, even if you do not own a TV, you can still use this script.
KoverSS script uses the currently playing song in Amarok to create an image, which it then displays on your screen saver while using KSlideshow. Once you exit the script or shut down Amarok, your original screen saver settings are restored.
The script also includes some basic settings that can be configured via kdialogs. For instance, you can configure the script to lock your screen saver, which is an excellent feature when you are having a party, and you don't want everyone to use the computer for surfing or changing tracks too often.
Another notable thing about this script is that it allows you to turn off display power management (DPMS), which enables you to use the screen saver without it getting turned off after a given time. This is a great option if you intend to use the KoverSS script for an extended period.
To use the KoverSS script, you need Amarok and KDE, and ImageMagick installed on your computer. With all the necessary requirements set up, the KoverSS script is effortless to run.
In conclusion, KoverSS is an excellent software tool that every music lover who uses their computer to play music should have. Its unique features, such as screen locking and DPMS options, make it stand out from other similar tools. The latest update also includes a regression fix that improves the quality of images generated by the script.
