Dynamic Music Pill brings beautiful and highly customizable music controls to the GNOME desktop.

It is not a standalone music player, though. Your music still plays through Spotify, VLC, Rhythmbox, YouTube, or another supported application.

Dynamic Music Pill automatically detects compatible media sources and lets you view track information, display synchronized lyrics, control playback, switch players, and much more.

In this video, I explore its best features, including scrolling text, configurable mouse actions, rotating album art, multiple visualizers, transparency, custom buttons, and dynamic GNOME accent colors.
