Good afternoon

Running v8.15.1 of Actual Window Manager on Win10 v22H2.

When running Foobar2000 v2.1.5, AWM successfully shows extra title bar buttons (for my configuration, I have "move to monitor X", "Send to bottom", "Stay always on top", "Roll Up", and "Minimize to Tray") but the buttons are inaccessible (i.e., clicking the buttons does nothing, like the are not present). Moving the Foobar2000 window leaves an image of the extra title bar buttons on the desktop and minimizing Foobar2000 window still leaves an image of the extra title bar buttons on the desktop. Closing Foobar2000 does remove the image of the extra title bar buttons. Running Foobar2000 as admin has same effect.

What can be done to fix this bug?

Thanks!

Hello, Jonathan

Thank you for contacting us.

Please see the workaround for the problem with Foobar2000 player provided in our FAQ section - it's still relevant.

Thank you for the reply Bogdan. I do have the columnsui plugin installed but use the default user interface primarily.

Is the titlebar button issue fixable from AWM or from Foobar?

Thanks!

Do you mean the ColumnsUI workaround is not acceptable for you?

The problem is due to the way the Foobar2000 window works. It's not a bug, it's just a way it works for a reason and it seems like Foobar2000 developers won't change it.

Probably we could implement a solution in AWM for this situation but for now the possible solution is too complex, I'm not sure we'll be able to implement it.

Thank you for the information. I asked on https://hydrogenaud.io/, Foobar2000 section, if the issue can be resolved.

Good afternoon Bogdan

Looks like AWM is the culprit. Please see the link. Can this issue please be resolved the next AWM release? I do not use CUI, but only DUI so the workaround isn't suitable.

Thanks!
