I found myself realizing that the only reason I run Sysmetrix is to have an always-on window that won't move that has my music buttons and song information. It seems like it would be a lot easier (and prettier and less memory intensive) if QCD were to add this feature.

ie: Have a checkbox much like the "Always on Top" feature that instead locks the window so it cannot be moved at all. This way, you could play with the always on top button and in conjunction you'd basically have a floating object you aren't always accidentally moving around the desktop.

To go along with this feature would be the really nice option to have the window need to be "in focus" for the buttons to work. This would prevent you from pressing "stop" when you are really just trying to select the window to bring it to front - or worse, accidentally clicked the window all together.

Maybe I'm missind this feature existing but I've searched the last 20 minutes for it

While you're waiting for such a feature to become available, you could get many of the same benefits by using the Tray Controls plugin (in the General Plugins section). This has the added advantage that you can decide for yourself which controls you want to have ready to hand. Of course it doesn't display song information, but you can get this from the taskbar icon tooltip.

...or You can try using QCD Alpha plugin with 'ghost mode' ON. Then, You will not be able to move the player.

You don't need this now that you can 'save' a current skin... Look under Skin menu -> Skin Layout... you can save your settings there and then easily load them.
