I really enjoy this widget, but i wish there was some way to auto hide it, so it's completely out of the way when it's not needed. It would be amazing if there was.

This is a great widget with tons of cool features. I just want a widget that shows the coverart of the currently playing song in iTunes. This widget seems to be the only one to attempt that. Unfortunately, it crashes all the time and hardly ever stays in sync with what iTunes is playing after the initial song. Is there a new version coming? I've tried everything you suggested to others here - reinstalled iTunes, computer, Yahoo! Widgets, but nothing seems to work.

series7:
Thanks for your comment and rating. There will be no more resizing options in the 2.x versions. I’m considering adding scaling or some other resizing options in version 3.x.

Aswitzertwiz (and others having problem with out of sync issues):
This widget depends on two things to stay in sync with iTunes. Sadly, both seems to contain a bug or not work properly in Yahoo! Widgets version 4.0.x:

1) Track change notification:
This widget receives and responds to iTunes events on every track change to update information in the Track Display and to pop-up the Now Playing Window. As far as I know there are two things that stop these events from being received by the widget:
…
a)The events can get lost if you upgrade iTunes to a new version. To fix it you have to do a Repair install of iTunes.

b) After Yahoo Widgets 4.0.x was released some have more trouble then others receiving the iTunes events. Some don’t receive iTunes events at all, some receive the events once in a while, and some experience no problem. I have no idea of what is causing the problem, but I do know that if you revert back to YW 3.x the events from iTunes will be received More

...continued from previous post...

2) Current iTunes state:
The internal object in YW that keeps track of the iTunes state gets out of sync when iTunes is closed and then restarted while YW are running. To fix this issue you have to restart the widget and sometimes you also have to restart YW.

I have sent a bug report to Yahoo Support concerning the two issues I’ve mentioned. I’ve heard nothing since the initial response so I will have create a workaround for the two issues in the next release.
