Skinned VLC always on top problem

Postby eyedmax » 13 Jun 2010 15:15

I had a problem to get skinned VLC player on top.
I.e. I said to use skinned mode, applied a skin (specifically it's skin-deep.vlt from the skin download section).
Restarted the player - the skin has successfully applied.
Then I set "Preferences -> Video -> Always on top" checkbox.
Restarted the player.
Player started, but not on top ("Always on top" in right click menu is checked though).

Is that a specific skin issue? Or maybe skinnable interface itself?
Is there a way to make it work properly?

'Always on top' was not implemented by the skin engine in vlc1.0.x

It is fixed in vlc1.1 (just about to be released)

For all of you who, like me, have been here before, I would like to say that it has only been 14 years since this topic was discussed here (or even not). And it still hasn't been resolved. It is and will always be a mess here!
