Bug Description

As many cover managers for other players display a default cover on the desktop even if it does not have any cover. I mean it may be just the image or icon of that player....

But in EXAILE, if it does not find any cover then it does not show up on the desktop. It just shows a cover only if it finds it!
It would be good if it shows a default cover!
 It gives a good appeal to the player ( I feel ) :-)

We not we too have a covermanger with glassy effects and so.. and increase a good feel towards the player!

My view: First i used Amarok, It was very good but it is heavy, very heavy!
               But when i used Exaile, I thought 'this is the player I am searching for' !
               There are many people like me! Its beter to improve its look and usability !
I'm not such a great person to give all off and pour my ideas on!!
I'm just feeling so b'se I loved EXAILE than any other player! :)

                                                           Thanx
