keyboard lights

JDHannan · 8th June 2001, 08:53

howcome u cant control the 3 keyboard lights while winamp's main screen is on? u can push num lock, scroll lock, caps lock to your heart's content but nothing will change until you click out of winamp, and then usually the lights wont change, just the on/off of the button.
seems rather strange that u guys would either implement this feature or not fix this problem

Seems to work fine for me> Are you sure that you don't have any plugins installed that might affect the keyboard lights, such as Keyboard Lights?

yeah i'm sure i don't have any plugins like that, i've had this problem as long as i've had winamp and thats spanned 3 computers. I think a couple of my friends have this problem too. You've never heard of anything like that before?
If winamp is on the main screen (and the active program) and i push xxxlock, nothing happens, but if i push 'l' for load, then it changes the light. Or if i have winamp up and i push xxxlock and then switch to a different program, the on/off of the xxxlock changes, but the light doesnt. Then when i push xxxlock again the light stays the same because thats what it should be at and then responds normally after that.
i do have the latest version of winamp (2.76) and no plugins that i can see that would affect my keyboard lights, especially considering the duration that i've had this problem

Yea, I get that too. Wierd.

I get this problem too, but what's the big frickin' deal? It only sticks the light while WinAMP is the actual selected window, and there's no point in pressing any of the lock keys in WinAMP itself.

But it is interesting indeed...
