Shade and Main window sizes should not be linked

[IvanL]

The Shade (winamp control list thingie) size should not be linked to the size of the main window. I have looked through settings and searched these Forums without any success, so I guess it is not possible already?

If I had the Main window maximized before I double clicked the title bar to go into shade mode, and then resize the shade, double click should remember my settings and take me back into maximized mode and vice versa.

Perhaps this is a skin-problem rather than a WinAmp problem, although I run the standard Bento skin...


Thank you for your input on this.

Bento SkinsOptions (menu bar) > Windows Sizing > uncheck 'Link shade and player length'

-or-

in the Multi Content panel (middle top) click the right bottom button (little box with 3 lines) > check-mark skin settings > uncheck 'Link shade and player length'Modern Default SkinCONFIG drawer (main/player window) > \Options/ tab > click on Winshade > select 'Unlink Position and Width'

Thanks for your reply. I have unchecked those options without success. It seems like it doesn't work for a maximized WA, only windowed mode. Also the position of the Shade and the Window is linked so I can't really run a "maximized windowed window" if you see what I mean? :)

Yup, I do see what you mean. The maximized state in normal view is also for WindowShade mode. Never noticed that before.

At least it works for restore/adjustable mode.

Ok, so how do I request a new feature? I guess I just did? :)

Yeah, the issue is the window and shade positions shouldn't be linked. I hope this is fixed in the next release. :)
