Would interfere with the streaming I think?

Riot does support scrolling banners, so may look at using this for the
track
title - but normal size font only.

That's a neat idea, will hold onto a copy of the code and look at adding
this in the future.

Initially the screens will replicate the old version (though thanks to
John's text rendering routines they'll be better fonts)

Tony
