Feature Request: In lyrics display highlighting the current playling line

[vedant agarwala]

Hello everyone,
I want to a add a feature: highlighting the line of the lyrics text
according to the playing track. And, if the lyrics file supports,
highlighting every word i.e. karaoke style. There was also a bug filed for
this wish: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231856
The lyrics file (.lrc) contains time-stamps for each line. Hence, figuring
out the "current playing line" would just be a task of matching the time of
the currently playing track to the time-stamp.
The graphical implementation would require some debate. Even so, the
current display of plain text is, IMO, very "plain" and not rocking as
other parts of Amarok. I was imagining three lines of text scrolling
according to the .lrc file and in the middle the current playing line. The
middle line would be highlighted by making its text "bold".
Is this a feature that should be added in the next version of Amarok? How
should it be done? I can start working on this, if at all, accordingly.

Regards,
Vedant.
