What’s this all about …

Using urxvt X terminal makes it easy to create (named) scratchpads for XMonad and every occasion.  Here it is my “jukebox” running ncmpc++ floating above the firefox browser. I was listening to some lounge radio stream.

However, while the beautiful scratchpad’s wallpaper also suits the blueish “icy39f” scheme, IMO there’s yet too less contrast to the chosen colors for the player.  And the scratchpad would deserve a shadow to give it some three-dimensionality, cause it’s shifted “on top” of all other apps.
