[Desktop] Allow "Lyrics" pane to coexist with the main pane instead of replacing its content

[Zach-chan]

The current behavior of the "Lyrics" option for desktop users (Windows 10) is as follows; you click on the microphone icon on the bottom right of the screen, and the whole content of the main pane changes to show the lyrics to whatever you're currently listening to, if there are any :

As you can see, this takes up the whole screen, and the lyrics are centered on a colored background.

Then, you can click the same icon again to deactivate the "Lyrics" feature and go back to wherever you were previously (home, library, artist/playlist, etc.)

The idea here would be the following:

Allow the "Lyrics" pane to show/coexist with the content being displayed, instead of completely flushing and replacing the content with only the lyrics, which takes too much space for absolutely no reason.

That way, even if you were to want to change songs, artists or playlists (whatever the case), the "Lyrics" pane would still remain active and visible on your screen, and would update whenever you start playing something new.

In other words, I'd like to have the option to "pin" the "Lyrics" pane so that it stays visible at all times, allowing me to easily navigate through folders, albums, playlists, and so on, all while being able to view the lyrics of what I'm currently listening to.

With the state it's in as of right now, I can honestly say I'm not using the "Lyrics" feature as much I as would if it were easier to keep it on my screen whenever I want it to.
