Hey,

I started on a little project the other day, my project is basically a small iTunes plug-in that allows you to hide the iTunes window from the task bar and screen and then by just clicking the plug-ins icon in the corner you can skip to the next track, go back, play/pause, re-display iTunes and also change the volume.

The reasons for starting on this was because i didn't know of a plug-in that could close it away so it doesn't bother me, me being a multitask-er means its just another window that blocks up the task bar when it need not be, so i though hiding it and being able to do simple operations would be just great for me and maybe many others would find it of use.

I started with the iTunes SDK and am programming it in VB.NET 2005, its very simple once you know what code you need to do, i would say i am about 1/3 through making v1.0.0 and i am hoping it will be really useful to me and others.

The reason i have posted here about the project is because i will be releasing it here, i will post instructions of use, screenshot and download link here and here only, if i post the application anywhere else where it will be a link here to get the download , as long as i don't mess it up or become unable to do something i could see a basic v1.0.0 out by the late weekend.

The other reason for posting here is because i was wondering if anyone would like to design a small 64x64 logo and also a logo with maybe some text sized 124x252? (plugin name is "Eazy Muzic" so bear that in mind whilst making either graphic should you want to) It does not matter if no one wants to, i am just giving people the opportunity to get involved should you wish, you will get credit for your work I will only use it if it looks better than mine (That's not hard to beat lol)

Feel free to post questions and images/icons here

Thanks,
Lee.

Edit: Forgot to say that you can minimze iTunes to the tray its just to change settings you have to open it all up and for lazy people like me its no good lol, i would like to make future version different than just an icon but for the first version its basic.

Can you give me the link to the iTunes SDK that you're talking about? I never knew that Apple also has an Open Source development for the users

Also, the first search result for iTunes SDK on Google turned up this:
iTunes COM for Windows SDK License Agreement
