MusicBee Wishlist / now playing notifcation positon

« on: March 07, 2018, 06:06:06 PM »

sorry for posting in wrong subforum

if you have a laptop that is 720p screen and dock it on a monitor that is 1080p and sometimes use musicbee on the laptop screen only and otherwise on the higher resolution screen only, the popup will appear towards the middle of the screen, as the position was remembered from the laptop screen. this is not an ideal implementation, either forcing a specific offset of pixels from a screen corner (e.g. top left like win10 music player notifications), or recalculating the target position at every launch of musicbee based on the resolution of the currently active screen would probably work better

Questions / Useful Musicbee features hidden by unusual UI decision

Using the "Windows Theme" (but same issue in the default musicbee3 theme


The fact that you can get the awesome "Album and Tracks" layout, and display lyrics within the player with no complicated settings is completely hidden by the fact these options are presented like headings, rather than dropdown boxes.




should be like:



i.e. obvious there are options available.

related: im surprised "Album and Tracks" isnt the default view.

Bug Reports / Crash when undocking laptop

« on: August 19, 2016, 10:28:50 AM »

Great app, minor issue i found on my work laptop was that it often crashes when undocking (the dock is connected to two "audio devices": a phone and the monitor is listed as intel display audio, but the default device is just the onboard realtek headphone output.

no error logs are generated by music bee but here is a windows event log:
