Title: Player disappears when click on another window, taskbar icon goes
Post by: Vordr on January 18, 2019, 10:51:58
So when I have AIMP player, I dedicate a section of my screen to it, and use the rest for browsing, etc, as I often like to watch the waveform visualisation and playlist. But suddenly yesterday, without making any changes in preferences, suddenly the player disappears whenever I click onto a different window. It doesnt just minimise, it completely disappears, taskbar icon included.. That would be fine if I was clicking on it to be minimised - but I am not.. I'm literally just clicking on anything else.  I can't figure out what has triggered this, but it is annoying the frigg out of me.

I've been using  AIMP for quite a while now, and have never encountered this before.  It began yesterday - before I had updated to latest release. I tried updating to see if that fixed it, but no. I have also gone through settings trying to see what could e the cause.. but all to no avail. Changing the options for "minimise to tray", tray icon, and "always on top" do not change this odd new behaviour.

I'm using Windows 10, BTW, with Bliss Compact Dark skin

1, Write full AIMP version number
2. Backup settings and try delete
3. If error responsible and version not v4.60 Beta build 2113, then try custom update https://www.aimp.ru/?do=download&os=windows
Write report (with setting & video, if need).

Hello Алексей Долматов,
Thank you for assisting me

1, Write full AIMP version number

I am using V.51 Build 2084.

Note; this problem started before updating to this build, which I did this morning. It began last night under the previous build (not sure the number, sorry, but whichever was the official release, that I had been using for months)

2. Backup settings and try delete

Not sure yet how to do that, so will look in the help guides

OK, may do so.

I just noticed something else too, which may change the situation slightly. If you look at this screenshot I took, you can see that in place of the taskbar icon, there is a small arrow which appears if I hover my mouse over the bar. I've encircled it with a green highlight so it is easier to see. Clicking on it makes the AIMP window re-appear. This makes me think it must be some kind of feature in AIMP that I am not aware of, nor how to disable it. Any thoughts?

OK... I'm a dumb ass!

It was a problem with the skin, it seems. I tried a different skin, the problem no longer occurred.

Looked in the skins section of the website, and there was an update to the particular skin I was using (Bliss Compact Dark).

Removed previous skin, and installed new one.

Problem gone!

Very sorry for wasting your time!

It's not big deal....I have discovered why ! It's so easy not to bother you anymore ! It's opened and docked "Visualization window" in top of player ! Just click on that arrow --> It will show you "Visualization window" --> Just hold left mouse click on it (from top dark side) and pull it down --> the "Visualization window" will show you more little "undock mode" with a close button on top right corner --> Close this little "Visualization window" with a left mouse click on "x" close button on top right corner ! That's ALL ! Enjoy this SKIN ! It's awesome !  :D
