My first question in a new line of questioning...

Why does it always do the weird menu pop-up flippy things on start-up?
Does it always default to Cool track?
How can I stop the title from going away in this code? I tried transient="false" but that didn't work, sorry if I'm being stupid.
<display_mode name="Transient w/ Time" visual="Funnelweb">
<!-- Just to demonstrate transient fields and the time attribute -->
<line attr="$(artist): $(title) $(source:format=\($\))" font="gimungous" color="bright" bgcolor="transparent" x="1" y="1" width="128" transient="true" speed="10" pause="5" origin="top"/>
<line attr="$(datetime:%A %b %Od, %Y %I:%M:%S %p)" font="small" color="bright" bgcolor="dim" x="1" y="27" width="128"/>
<playerscreen blendmode="lighten" burnin="true"/>
</display_mode>

Oh one last thing when I use Hyper term in Win XP pro. Q to the shell, set the drive to RW, paste in my new xml, RO the drive and exit, the system restarts with normal (original) info modes but if I try any menus the display goes crazy with the old and new info modes going, happens every time. Any ideas? Or is it hey doc it hurts when I do this --- so don’t do that.
