Now playing information gets pushed behind the playing bar

[Anthony Harrington]

A cosmetic issue exists in rhythmbox. I hope to attach a picture but basically, when you play a song and the information comes up

e.g. "Switchyard by From Software from Armored Core 2: Another Age"

all the 'y's, 'g's etc get hidden by the top part of the playing bar and it looks sloppy and in some cases makes reading what's playing difficult.

Can we put a few more pixels distance between the text and the playing bar or something?
Or perhaps have the text part drawn on top of the playing bar instead of vice versa, to avoid this kind of thing?

Example of the problem attached

The top part, above the now playing bar, actually has some unused space - this could hold the bar which moves, as the song progresses, leaving the 'now playing x by x' information legible.

This is a vital but easy to fix bug; i'm tempted to mess around with the code myself but i profess a sincere lack of experience :P

I've tried changing font and font sizes, but this problem rests solely with rhythmbox. The bar that moves when a song plays makes longer letters in the song name totally illegible.

The space in orange is prime real estate for the "Now playing x" information really, leaving the progress bar where it is, though slightly up, which in turn means fitting more library information on the screen when maximised.
