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.
