Guys, your app is really cool, thanks a lot!

A feature request: lyrics which are displayed on a mac's desktop.

Do you think it's possible to make lyrics available on the desktop? Not just a window somewhere on the background, and not a window you have now that you can pin to always stay on top, but lyrics displayed basically on the desktop, so if one were to use a gesture "Show desktop" lyrics would still be visible there? Akin to how it looks on DesktopLyrics app, but the one that works on older MacOS versions (like High Sierra or Mojave), and obviously that benefits from all your integrations with Spotify and other music apps. Additional third section into your "Display" menu - "Desktop", with a few options like positioning, font (size, color), highlighting the line that's playing, etc. Feels like it would be an amazing addition to your already one of the best in class lyrics app.

Hope to hear from you, guys! Thanks again for your great work! Best regards, Stan (Frytech)

Technically they're not displayed on the desktop. What you see in DesktopLyrics is just a borderless, transparent, stationary, non-interactive window -- basically karaoke lyrics in LyricsX, but always at the bottom. From this point of view, I see very little benefit of it. What about bringing dock icon back so you can easily navigate to lyrics window by clicking the dock icon, instead of using "show desktop" gesture?
