Default skin windowshade double-clicking

doofusdavid · 5th September 2002, 21:16

So, I'm used to having winamp in windowshade mode all the time. In order to make it bigger, I slam my mouse to the top of the monitor and double-click. The Winamp3 new default skin has a 1 pixel border all the way around it that can't be double-clicked. (If I just change my mouseing pattern to slam the mouse to the top, then go down a bit, then I could hit close, play, stop, etc.) I've switched back to the classic skin, because this was that annoying. That sucks, though, because I think the new skin is better in so many ways...I just want to get rid of that un-double-clickable 1px border...

I couldn't agree more.

This is a big usability issue, in my opinion.

I've been using WinAmp in windowshade more, docked to the top of the screen as long as I can remember.

Opening the player or the playlist window was easy, UI-wise. Just slam your mouse to the top of the screen (vertically), make sure that the mouse is over the right component (player or playlist windows), and double click.

After a couple of times, this becomes a 0.1 second automatism.

I was very surprised to find this completely broken in WinAmp 3.0.

Does anyone know if this problem is known to the Nullsoft developers?

PS I also wrote two posts about this issue in the "Universal Winamp3 bitchlist", page 7: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....2&pagenumber=7
