Taskbar player

Postby Twisted_Daemon » 09 May 2007 08:39

Hey everyone,

On the whole I hate WMP, but there are 2 features that I like in it :

Taskbar player :- When it minimizes you can still control your music through the tab it creates.

Library :- The latest library for WMP11 actually sucks... but it has one.

I'm really new to VLC , but I'm liking what I see so far , is there a way to incorporate the 2 features I've mentioned above into VLC?

Thanks 8)

A real taskbar like WMP is not likely, because it uses special windows access, but you will be able to control VLC through a taskbar icon in next version

About library, it is also coming in next version.
