possible?

[billyvnilly]

as far as i know, there aren't any plugins that lock windows in place. but that would be cool.

[dllmain]

Shouldn't be too hard to write such a plugin.
I'll see what I can do and if I find the time.

[dllmain]

I was wrong - it is hard and there is no easy "pretty" solution to this problem. My plugin prevents the main, equalizer and playlist window from being moved. It does not deny resizing the playlist window and it lacks config. There still might be a chance it does what you asked for. Source is included.

>> gen_freeze_05.zip

[dllmain]

I added config and finished it.

>> gen_freeze_10.zip

very good job. no crashes

If you're taking requests:
1.Is it possible to make windowshade behave normally. If you click windowshade, and main is stacked on top pledit, pledit should move up & snap with main & move down when main is clicked back to normal

2.add "would you like to restart now" if changed were made to the preferences.

3.the way the plugin is, i doubt this is possible. have a hotkey to hold down that allows movement. if this isnt possible...thats cool

if some type of bug pops up, I'll let you know.

These two should be no problem. Restarting and detecting
window shade switching already works. Next release should
not be too far. I'll keep you up to date.

The problem is Winamp keeps some kind of "virtual" window
position inside. So if the plugin denies moving the window
Winamp still thinks it has been moved since click-and-drag
is moving to Winamp. There does not seem to be a way to
make Winamp update its virtual window positions or tell
what these positions are. If there was such a message it
would be possible.

[dllmain]

Here's the new version. Asks for restart and handles window shade toggling.

Pretty neat plugin
Too bad you have to restart it all the time if you want to move the windows.

Sorry, there is nothing I can do about it.

[priestlyboy]

I understood that... Maybe that can be wished for to the Winamp Devs...hmm

billyvnilly reported a bug with window shade
toggling so here is the fixed version:

>> gen_freeze_13.zip

[billyvnilly]

I'm curious if Benski or DrO could give you insight into the nondefault windows you don't freeze with the plugin... so they dont move.

that, and seeing if there is a way to move the windows without restarting. (if you do publish the plugin on the winamp site, I would definetly clarify this, as I could see people requesting it right away. )

small bug, when you minimize winamp while frozen, part of the windows bar doesnt dissapear
