Is it possible to have more control over the time layer by adding keywords like elapsed or remaining.
My idea was to make 2 different timers, one displaying elapsed and other displaying the remaining time.

The time layer is only changeable by the end user as some users prefer elapsed, and others prefer remaining. I could probably add a flag that forced this, but I would recommend taking the control away from the user, unless you provided the ability to change it, or display both, as you said.

Added for build 109!

There are now additional keywords for the time layer, similar to the track layer.

Examples are as follows:

time - Normal user changeable time
time elapsed - Time elapsed
time remaining - Time Remaining
time total - Total Time

Ahhh wicked man! Thanks for responding to this request dude :)

What's time total by the way? Isn't that just the same as the normal time? If so, why have it? Or is it the length of time you've had Xion running.

Hmm...what are the chances of you adding an option to display the actual time from windows? I like players that have that :)

Peace, Lance

Its the length of the current track. So now you can show how long a track is, or how much has played, or how much is left to go till the end.

I guess this is possible, make me a new feature request thread ;)
