Any chance of adding that to settings for clip stamps?
I looked into it and couldn't find any python module to do that; the closest I got was some Windows-only code. At this time, that just doesn't seem possible.

In addition, I emailed the developer of the kinetic scrolling widget used in MyTube, etc., and here's his reply:

As they are derived from a gtk.drawingarea and not a container, you
can't directly embed widgets within it.

In fact if you could I doubt you'd be happy with the performance.
Drawing text is extremely slow - if I remember right in that code I'm
pre-generating the labels and bliting the image of the text as it
scrolls instead of drawing the text.
