This widget is as small as I could make it, and is meant to be a companion to the iTunes interface, not a replacement of it. Adding font options would probably result in larger fonts overlapping and garbling. Search the widget gallery for iTunes and you ca More

it's not working for me :-(
it says' iTunes_Popup couldn't be loaded'
