Cool! Lots of hidden iTunes visualization controls
I just found out something pretty neat while playing around with iTunes. I had the visual set to full screen and I discovered when I bumped the q key that a little display appeared in the top right of the screen. It had some words that I didn't really understand... but after playing around some more I found out that if you press Q and W, it will change the look of the little lines. A and S will change the background effect, and Z and X will change the color scheme. That's pretty cool... then I found out that if you press N it will switch between "Normal" colors and "High Contrast" colors. M will switch between random mode, user configured mode, and freeze mode. So if you see a visual you really like and you don't want it to go away just yet, just press the M key until it says something along the lines of "freeze effect." Finally, there's a thing that explains all this if you press H... it's a bit of a help dialog. Apparently you can make up to ten preset visuals and assign them to the various number keys, and then use the M key to switch to a slide show of your custom ones or the number keys to go to a specific one. Pretty cool! I haven't taken the time to go through and make any custom ones yet, but it's kinda neat and I think I'll have to do that sometime.
Also, pressing the F key will toggle the framerate display.
