Winamp won't stay still!

Zeekin · 22nd April 2006, 07:16

OK, basically whenever I move winamp off the screen, as in completely off my desktop so it's 100% not viewable it decides to jump back into the middle of my screen.

I've tryed changing certain values in the studio.xnf file, and I want them to be this:

code:
<entry name="rect" value="141,720,817,25" />

              <entry name="restoredrect" value="141,720,817,25" />

but whenever I open winamp first it sits in the right spot and then almost straight away it moves itself to somewhere near the middle of my screen :S which is this:

code:
<entry name="rect" value="121,627,817,25" />

              <entry name="restoredrect" value="121,627,817,25" />

does anyone know how to stop it from automatically jumping back into the middle of my screen? Thanks!

Seems like a feature to me: this way you won't loose your main window.

Why would you want the main window to disappear off screen? You can also right-click Winamp and click main window, if you want to get rid of it.

Winamp only thinks it's offscreen when it's not. I've changed the dimensions of my windows of folders and internet explorer such that they take up less space on the screen when the window is maximized, as such when I place winamp lower than where the bottom of the window reaches then it thinks it's offscreen and then teleports itself back into the middle of my screen. WTF? How do I disable this function
