Hi
Sorry for the long title, I hope it didn't put you off!
Anyway I've always used WMP, I realise there are probably much better media players out there but it has always for the most part done what I want so have never bothered looking in to alternatives. Right, back to the title. With a quick registry edit I've modified my WMP to operate in mini-mode such that it docks to the taskbar and also displays media information whenever a new track starts or I mouse over it. This is great for what I want but I also want this media information to also pop up when I am in a full-screen game (for example). Is there anyway to get the information to overlay on top of whatever my current application is? Of course it works fine if I game in a window but I really don't want to do this. Any ideas?
If there is no way to achieve what I want then can someone suggest an alternative media player not too different from WMP?
Thanks for reading!
