Bug #658

Summary	Show play/pause bezel on notification from iTunes
Product	Synergy
When	07 March 2008
Status	Open
Reporter	Nik Gervae
Description	I just got a new MacBook Pro, with dedicated iTunes control buttons on the F-keys. When I use my Synergy hotkey to play/pause, it shows the little bezel. When I use the F-key play/pause one, Synergy is bypassed. If iTunes sends out any kind of notification, or if you can discover that some way, it would be nice if Synergy showed it no matter what triggered the change (F-key, Quicksilver, or random AppleScript).

I have one of those new-fangled keyboards as well (not a MacBook Pro one, but one of the aluminum USB ones that Apple's been shipping for a while now), and ever since I got it I've been perturbed by some of its behaviours. Your suggestion is probably a good one, although it would definitely have to be optional because this is _exactly_ the kind of feature that users tend to feel fairly strongly about one way or the other. Marking as ASSIGNED.
