Album artwork

Hi, just found this app because I don't use Spotify so this is great! Just if the album artwork could be displayed as well as the title, album, etc.
Also if it could be a background app in the menu bar instead of the dock would be great :D.
Keep the good work!

Hi, sadly the public Discord RPC API doesn't allow to dinamically change the displayed picture, so I had to stick with a bland iTunes logo.
When I have time to work on this I will make the app a menu bar app (if it's possible with Java).

Isn't it possible with this?

It would be really nice if this gets album artwork! Commenting to "up" this.

No, that's how I show the iTunes logo in the first place, but I can't use that to show the current artwork, because I can't load the image at runtime (you can only set certain pictures before and then use those). Spotify is able to do that because they probably use a different API, which isn't accessible for other applications.
