How to make popup windows centered ?
First off i've looked around and googled and can't find the answer i need..
Also im using ver. 5.6 What i'm trying to do is see if i can make pop up windows centered, atleast the one you see when you right click an entry and select "Edit Metadata" problem is it always comes up top left off my screen and its a pain to have to move the window placement every time i edit tag data (i move it so i can see the menu text better) I have been using winamp for over 10 years continously and have advanced pc skills so if someone has a suggestion for me such as editing an .ini file in the appdata folder or something i have no problem that.. willing to try anything ? (maybe edit a skin ?) Uhh i'll add that im using xp pro x64 and my screen res. is nvidia/samsung -> 1080p Aside from that i have no complaints and winamp works well for a media center for me. I use Coreavc and ffdshow for most video and audio and built in plugins for flac/mp3 Coreavc's h264 codec produces smoother playback in my experience with mkv's. I mentioned that to show im capabable of setting up custom configurations in WA Desperatly wanna find a fix for this window issue / anyone have any ideas ? |

ok i used resource hacker to patch the .exe and ive got most of the windows changed
such as the Prefs window and file info window to now come up centered. now im just trying to figure out what dialod id is responsible for the metadata edit window seriously can anyone here help me out ? We have any devs in here ? having almost all windows pop up in the top left corner is aggravating ..i cant be the only one here that finds that irratating ? my desktop res. is 1080p so i have a tiny box i can barely see and have to move the windows that come up over n over n over

Ok i got it precisely how i want it
![]() now all the main pop up windows come up centered on my screen. in case someone cares i used resource hacker to edit a couple dialogs in winamp.exe (for the file info window) and in ml_local.dll (for the tag edit window) adding the attribute DS_CENTER to the dialog did the trick.. now if i could only convince the devs to implement the change ![]() and come on.. am i the only one who is bothered by that ? lastly i wanna add, winamp rules and i wanna say thanks for an excellent Media Player |

looks like it or the few people who prefer to remember the position of certain dialogs with http://nunzioweb.com/daz/OSPosRestorer.html
i'm not sure about changing all of the dialogs to be centered as it's basically been set to place the windows against the window which owns then instead of forcing it onto the center of the screen (plus i'm sure that would be quite annoying if Winamp is on a different monitor and all that fun stuff ).-daz |
