I intended to implement it as a theme defined screen (of any size) which pops
up to display information, it could be transparent, it could be any size or
located anywhere on the screen, it could scroll or be static, the text could
even flash red that's all down to the themer and possible through the power
of mythui.
I won't be doing it that way in metallurgy because I reserved space at the
bottom there deliberately with this idea in mind. It's the same space the
music miniplayer popup uses.
