Taskbar Control

Postby BlackWhiteX » 23 Jan 2013 21:00

Would be nice to see a taskbar control of VLC (with volume, stop/start and next/previous track) just like with MS Windows Media Player. Fully accessable through the taskbar, without having to place the mouse pointer on the icon... 8)

*bump*

Does that work in Windows 7, and how do I activate it in that case? The documentation (wiki) does not seem to apply to Win 7.

It is automatically activated by default.

Interesting. There must be something that I don't see, and that other people don't see either!?

What am I looking for? I was expecting buttons/controls in the task bar, but there's none.

Okay, I suppose I was expecting controls directly on the task bar, hence why I didn't see/think about those.

Would be nice to have such a screenshot in the documentation.

Thanks for answering anyway!
