Bug Description

The Banshee badge displays the remaining time of the currently playing track -- and that works perfectly well. Only problem is, some fonts, such as Calibri, have non-monospaced numerals. This means that the badge will change size every few seconds.

One solution would be to use a monospaced font; another would be to use a rectangular badge or something.

Robert,

I'm just going to flip it back to you and say probably monospace would be the best.

In the meantime, I'll think about restyling docky's badges to something a little nicer.

Marking as dupe of bug 506117 because as I see it, badges should not be updating frequently. They are intended more for 'hey look, you have X unread messages' type of information.

For something like banshee's play time, these newer styled badges would be a better fit.
