Bugs and missing features

I didn't like the feel of the G15 keyboard and sold mine. Therefore I am not currently using this script and further updates to the script are unlikely.

• Current time and progress bar
• Scandinavic characters (ä, ö etc.)
• Raise the Amarok (LCD) screen when there are updates
• Scroll too long strings
• User configuration
• DOCUMENTATION!
• The script has heavy library dependencies and uses lots of memory.
