You might want to change the foreground color. It is quite hard to read some things

It sounds like this is the last line on your screen and there just isn't enough space for a full extra line on the screen.
Either eliminate a line above, or switch to a font that allows more lines on the screen (or explain your situation more fully).

The fractal patterns are very nice indeed. But white text on that backdrop is painful on the eyes. Maybe even a darker toned backdrop would work nicely.

Agreed. A solid foreground colour of some kind would make the text a lot easier on the eyes. Either that, or turn down the opacity on the background images themselves. They definitely shouldn't be at 100% IMO.

You have asked this question a number of times in different topics, including (bizarrely) your own, but without explaining any further.
It just looks like you have put in too many blank lines, thus pushing the next song info off the bottom of the screen.
I find it really hard to understand that you can have written a WPS yourself without being able to solve this apparently simple problem. If you are still really stuck, then post the WPS code in this topic and someone will have a look.

mr.weathers-
I've combined your two threads, because (1) pictures of your in-progress WPS may help people to understand your alignment question and (2) you discussed the alignment issue in the other thread anyway, and there's no need to have two separate threads discussing the same question.

Now the text is too dark! Use a color that stands out. Something not too bright, but not too dark either.

Man, the fractals are nice, but you just will not get *any* text colour reliably readable on such a busy background.
They are going to have to be turned way down to be any good
