Can anyone help? :-(

I have been looking for a setting/plugin/app/script/anything that will create a floating on-screen-display for iTunes and can't find anything sufficient.

If anyone is familiar with VLC's on screen display (OSD) I am basically trying to get this functionality out of iTunes. Where VLC will show in a large font the name of the video that has just started playing for a few seconds. I'm looking for something that will show the episode name/file name/something when shuffling through TV shows in iTunes full-screen.

I understand there are a few apps out there that do this for music. I have tried synergy and a few others but they don't provide large enough fonts to see from where I'm watching. They also only display track names opposed to ideally the Episode ID. They're really designed for music and people sitting at their machines, I'm looking for something that has consideration for video functionality by it's developers. For people viewing Movies/TV Shows from around 2-3 meters away.

I'm sure most people migrating from .mkv to .m4v will miss this feature from VLC when heading into iTunes territory.

I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.7.2 - please be mindful of PPC/Windows applications.

Thanks,
Jaxon
