 A Dynamic-Island-style media widget for Amane (Rust Wayland shell library), running on Hyprland. It sits as a small pill at the top centre of the screen and opens into a now-playing card.
 
-- **Pill:** cover thumbnail, title, 7 live bars from the shown player's own sound (lows left, highs right, growing up and down from the middle), or a pause sign.
+- **Pill:** cover thumbnail, title, 7 live bars from the shown player's own sound (lows left, highs right, growing up and down from the middle), or a pause sign. With no player open, an idle pill: a music note and "Nothing playing".
 - **Card:** a still CD of the cover ringed by 40 cava "candles", title and artist, a seekable time bar, previous / play-pause / next.
 - **Player switcher** ("VIA …" chip): every MPRIS player; picking one pins it, otherwise the island follows whichever plays.
 - **Output switcher:** moves only the shown player's audio to another device.
