View Full Version : Problem pressing 'L' to add files and skin transparencies

When you add a file to the playlist by pressing L, if the main window is selected and not the playlist, funky things happen. Instead of opening an "Add File" dialog, it opens up an "Open File" dialog and if you select a file what ends up happening is that file becomes your entire playlist. It would be nice if you didn't have to select the playlist to add a file using the keyboard.

Also, it would be great of there were a keyboard hotkey to bring the playlist to the foreground, and also one to focus on the main window. That way, when using the arrow keys or letters to select the song, you can easily use the keyboard to switch the focus to the main window to use the keyboard to change the volume, etc. (can you tell I use my keyboard more than my mouse? http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/smile.gif

And lastly, when making skins, it would be nice to be able to have a transparent colour. One area this would be very useful is for the text - instead of having a solid background colour behind the letters, it could be set to a transparent colour (some awful bright violet?) and the skin would show through. You can't just put the section of the skin behind the letters and numbers obviously because that would never work right and would just look bad.

Thanks.
