Could you provide a modified image to show exactly what you want?

You can do no-decoration, but you can't move the windows on Microsoft Windows.

there is no need for an image just imagine a video with no captions borders menus or anything else not even the big blue above the image saying vlc player! basically just hide everything like bsplayer does making vlc the best multitasking player available

YOu already can do that with VLC, but you cannot move the video afterwards.

Anyone know if there is a way around this can't move the the video window in windows OS after you turn off windows decorations? I even tryed getting Xp to cascade the windows but nothing happens but I know it still opens all the video windows I wanted (trying to clone a very small goom 240 * 200 something like 48 times on my monitor for the fun of it), doesn't work well unless I remove windows decorations and once I do I can't move any of the clones. Any ideas anyone? Windows XP SP3 and I'm using vlc 9.6

Edit: just an idea from playing around with the windows decoration checkmark removed in windows xp, you can't move the window but you can pick where it will be. Could there not be a piece of code step n to 0 where n is the amount of cloned display windows you want to use for the segmant of the code that sets the window position? I'm not saying this would work or is even posible but could someone check?

my bad I guess this post should of have been in this part of the forum instead
