Song info in a full screen application..?
 

I enjoy listening to music while playing fullscreen games. Whenever I'm unsure of a song's info, I always have to minimize, disrupting the experience :'(

Is there a plugin or something of the sort that displays a compact, minimized winamp screen on a fullscreen app?

Thanks for any help =D

Some notifiers like Toaster can appear over some full screen applications. I haven't tried the Bento notifier yet. Most notifiers (Toaster and Bento's certainly do) have an option to disable the notification during full screen, make sure this is disabled so that it will actually try to show it.

Hmm, I tried changing my skin to Bento to see what it was like(I was using MMD3), and an error came up, the playlist editor text turned green/black and it switched to Bento. I decided that I didn't like it, and switched back to MMD3 but, there's a few minor problems.

Sometimes, when I restart winamp, the media library window is HUGE and it's difficult to resize. Also, the playlist editor doesn't open...reinstalling didn't fix the prob.

Other times, its normal...can you help me?

BUT, on the other hand, Toaster is (almost) exactly what I needed. It doesn't seem to work with games, but I think I can figure that out somehow >_>

EDIT: I've noticed a pattern with the media library resizing issue - it happens every other time winamp starts.

Well like I said "some notifiers ... some full screen applications". Toaster certainly appears over Master Of Orion 3. I don't recall seeing it over any others, perhaps Civ 4 or Medieval Total War 2 worked every time the notifier was redrawn for one frame then it was replaced by the game. This next statement will sound very stupid: I guess some games are more full screen than others. There is a similar problem with Global Hotkeys, some games block them while others don't.

As for your error, that is saying that Bento is trying to load a script but can't find it. It looks like it is looking in completely the wrong place, it should look in the install directory. This error was probably the cause of the classic look to the PE.

Can you describe what you mean by "difficult to resize"? You mean that the ML appears huge once, you resize it, restart Winamp and all is fine, restart Winamp again and then the ML is huge again? The only solutions I know are for if Winamp never saves any settings. Do you notice that anything else loses it's position or a setting gets changed?

Ah I see. I sent a PM to the creator of toaster, maybe he can shed more light on the subject.

As for the script error, i looked into the directory where the script was located, and found it there..the exact file. Perhaps it's corrupted..?

And the media library problem: What I mean is that, one time it loads normally, and the next time i load winamp, it's so huge, that it almost overtakes the entire screen, and that it can't be resized because the..resizing..thingy? at the bottom of the window is not visible. Pic attached

Bump :weird:
