Ghost Mode

[dreamerWorks]

It would be nice to provide Ghost Mode exclusive for the external view (Ctrl+V).
This way, we would have the player sitting nicely on some border, and the external viewer of any size, with alpha tranparency and in ghost mode.

Please try QCDAlpha.dll general plug-in with Ghost Mode.

Well, I use QCDAlpha.dll and it's a very fine dll, but the thing is, I would like have the external viewer "ghosted", and the main player responsive.

At this time u can only choose between, everything in ghost or everything in real.

I like, the player as it is and this suggestion may be wishing for too much perfection, but well, if this is the place for suggestions, I just thought maybe developers would find it interesting.

Thanks for your rapid response.

Sounds like a nice addition to the alpha plugin...

"External Viewer"--I think you meant "External Visual Window"?
OK, I'll updated the Alpha plug-in soon and make the external visual window Ghost-able:)

Yes I meant "External Visual Window"

Thank's :)

Thanks, that would benefit me as well...

Also another thing I asked a few times about is to have the Ghost Mode behave in such a way that when the player has focus, it is responsive. Since the point of Ghost Mode is to be able to click the window underneath, the only way to "Unghost" it would be to click the taskbar button or the tray icon. For now, when it's ghosted, the only way to make it responsive is to right click the tray icon, go in Prefs and Alpha Plug-In Config and uncheck the Ghost Mode.

A lot of codes should be rewritten...Wait....

Any chance of the preference window being added to the list of things being transparent? I guess most people dont want that, but it would be nice if I could see the code through the preferences window so I wouldn't have to close/open it all the time. (Dont do it if it takes more than 5 min. though. Was just something I thought about...)

If I can catch the message when users open this preference dialog box.

To everyone:
I'm planning to make all extensions individual so...when you mouse over one extension, it will fade in and all of others will fade out. How about this?

new version v2.50 has been released.

Check the Web later.

* external windows is processed individually.
* add "Ghost Mode" into plug-in menu.
* Ghost Mode can be disabled when player is being activated, sucha as: clicking the title bar on task bar or pressing "Alt+Tab" to activate player or external windows. Ghost will be back when the player or external windows is being deactivated (if you keep "Ghost Mode" enabled).

Thanks for the update, I haven't installed it yet, but I plan to right after I finish reading the forums...

shaohao, for the ghost option, what about people who don't have qcd in the taskbar at all but in the tray... its more of a pain to disable then.

Only tray icon!!!
en...It's not easy to control it.
I think you can right click the tray--now, the player will be acitvate (Ghost Mode is disabled)--then move your mouse on skin and click it (not to click others, only player's main skin) to control it.
