"Always on Top" Broken

[haiku]

Hello,

I want to report that the "Always on Top" Feature breaks when my screensaver launches. If I've left my PC for a while and come back after the screensaver has launched, when I clear my screensaver than the "Always on Top" features wont be working. The only way to fix it is to turn it off and back on by hitting CTRL+A 2X.

I'm using 5.08 of course, and Windows XP home SP2, and a basic windows screensaver. (windows logo floats around a black screen)

Can this please be fixed in the next update?

hey,

thanks alot I wasn't aware of this. It's a great help!

I have the same problem, only I have Winamp sitting on a spot on my Taskbar, but whenever I click anything on the taskbar, it overcomes the Always On Top function, hiding Winamp altogether, until I refocus it.

Show Desktop and Always on top

What about when I have always on top activated, and click on show desktop button, winamp docks but if I open another window, winamp won't come on top again.

I'm using modern skin on Windows XP pro and Windows 2000, I use it in 2 computers and the same thing happens in both.

Thanks a lot.

my "always on top" feature is also, as you say, broken. i haven't exactly found out what overrides it regularly, but my browser will sometimes appear over it. i have the "disable aot when fullscreen apps are focused" unchecked, and i am using winamp 5.13 (until the on end of queue bug is fixed in 5.2) and winXP pro.

thanks to anyone with any ideas!!

Excuse me for not finding this thread(I swear I searched)

I just want to know whether this problem is going to be fixed, as first reports seems to be made a year ago

[JonnyMac]

It is a known issue which means it does have the attention of the developers. However, there is no ETA on when it will be fixed. Sorry.

[DJ Egg]

Hmm, is it...?

What's the exact problem/issue again? And how do we reproduce it?

(note, the original issue in the first post was resolved in the 2nd post, and confirmed in the 3rd post)

[JonnyMac]

Just a difference of interpretation, I guess. IMHO, unchecking 'Disable AOT when fullscreen applications are focused' is more of a workaround that a fix.

However, I do understand what your are saying.

[NickMikh]

Thanks for information

That`s exactly what I wanted to say about workaround

But this checker just enable this bug, as I still don`t see Winamp AOT when fullscreen application is active when it is unchecked.

So there appears to be another bug.

WinAMP Always on top reset bug

Hi,
I have an annoying problem with winamp v5.24...

I am running MMD3 skin.

The always ontop feature resets without actual use of the CTRL A and/or the Selection of this option.

So far I found that this happens when:
1). Going from mini mode to full mode (not minimise)

I will record more when I can.

Look forward to the bug fix...

Media menu scaling and content rendering problems

Media menu bug:

Using default skin of new style...

This often doesn't scale its contents in the main window correctly.

It resizes but only to a certain point and this doesn't reset when winamp is closed and re-opened..

Takes some playing around with and closing and opening to get it to be back to normal.....

I have the solution. In MINI mode, there is a button CFG as configuration. Click it and uncheck the ALWAYS ON TOP(auto) option. Finnaly i found the cause of the problem. I have searched for a long time.

[JonnyMac]

Talking about the MMD3 skin? MMD3 has a has semi-independent AOT setting. When it is on, Winamp's own AOT is enabled.
