[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 496017, member: 27204"] I don't mean make the overlay slide, I mean make it stay visible even when the menu slides. At present, overlays are only visible when the facade is in focus. If you choose a diff position on the screen for overlays, then there is no reason for them not to be visible. If you create your own overlays and import them, then they are visible even when the facade is not in focus, but I don't really see why you should have to create your own overlays just to make them visible when the facade is not in focus! I would like to just edit MusicOverlay and VideoOverlay and have them display all the time, but I can't. To make the skin better of course, by displaying different elements depending on whether video is playing or music is playing. How would you use the window ID when MP treats the current window id as visible, not the overlay window? If you have a condition on an overlay window working, please let me know what you did cuz I tried every variation I could think of and none worked. If you add controls to Music Overlay, they will not display for streaming audio whicih uses video overlays. I'm sure you noticed in Radio in PM3sexy you have a videowindow displaying. If you add controls to videooverlaytop as well (which is where videooverlay data goes, not in videooverlay) you get double overlays in streaming audio! To give you an example, I like big overlays, they are usually too small to see on smaller screens. So I like to put the currentplaytime on top of the overlay window and I want to add currenttags in different positions for music and video. But i can't do either of these because they both display when playing radio. I can go on and on with the problems, but i think you get the drift. I'm not sure what your point is? Are you just trying to say there are no problems with overlays? Or do you mean I should only stick to the built in overlays and not try to do anything creative? If so, then why not just stick to the default skin? Anyway, I digress, my point is that player.hasaudio and player.hasvideo are documented conditions that don't work. [/QUOTE]
