When I double-click the mouse on the text track\picture album, then foobar appears inactive window (behind other windows). How can I fix it? To foobar was the front.
Windows 10
This is OS restriction and can not be fixed, sorry.

Hi. I downloaded Deskband Controls on Windows XP SP3, installed it and it worked fine. But, when I restarted the computer, it was no longer working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it again, but it didn't work. Thanks for the help.
Make sure that Deskband Controls is selected in Toolbars menu (right-click on taskbar menu). If yes, try to delete config.js from %AppData%\DeskbandControls, than uncheck toolbar item and check back again. I have not encountered this issue myself and it is not reproducible on clean WindowsXP SP3 install, so it must be something in your system. Sorry if this doesn't help.

Thanks for help. Yes, it ended up being a system problem. For some reason anything related to playing media was working (Windows Media Player for taskbar wasn't working, for example) so I restarted explorer.exe
But I have another problem: Album Art of the song that is playing won't show, just the Stub Image. Thanks :p

Forget that. Sorry. The thing is that it will display the Front Cover, but most of my songs don't have one. Instead, they have an "icon" art ( http://prntscr.com/b8ef99 ).

Hi

Just signed on to the Forum to tell you I love this plugin It achieves in one excellent utility what I used to bodge with prettypop and foo_title - but better!

Also +1 to the following, it would make things just perfect...

Two feature requests:
1. Optional tooltip with the name of the song when hovering the deskband.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm using this deskband together with Networx (network monitor), however I would like foobar Deskband to sit on the left and Networx on the right. Is it possible to change the relative position of two deskbands? Alternatively, would it be possible to automatically adapt the band width to the text displayed? I just want to avoid having a big gap between these two toolbars.

Thanks.

Hello, thanks for this one of a kind tool.
So I reinstalled it after getting some .NET error when trying to access settings. Now the tool doesn't work properly:

Clicking doesn't do anything. Win10 Anniversary. Worked fine after the anniversary update (installed prior) but perhaps the update is now preventing installing the tool somehow.
Thanks.

Mystery solved - the plugin didn't work because this time I installed foobar in C:\, which is restricted in some ways

Any clue when the new update will be available?

Re: foobar2000 DeskBand Controls

I have another problem and it looks like it's very wierd.
I do a clean install latest Windows 10 x64 build 14926.
I registered Deskband as I do always after clean install and this time I can't enable this addon. I see it in toolbar menu but nothing happens when I try to enable it.
Is there any person with this problem or someone has this problem and know the solution? :)

Hello adamo000.
I've got the exact same problem, my last windows 10 update broke Deskband Controls. I hope this will be fixed one day.

I'm waiting with updating with Windows 10 because DeskBand Controls will not work at all. Foobar2000 & DeskBand Controls > Windows 10 and all it's new features ;)

Hi there. I've installed win10 on virtual machine, updated it with the latest patches and what I got was build 14393.351.
The same states this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12387/windows-10-update-history

I've installed foobar2000 and DeskbandControls and everything is working fine.

Maybe you are using unstable builds of Windows 10 from insider program? It that case I can not help.

Re: foobar2000 DeskBand Controls

Yes, I'm member of Windows Insider Program. When new update rolls out, I'm always downloading it, install and try to run newest foobar and DeskBand. Always the same. DeskBand shows in toolbar menu but it can't be enabled.

So we have to wait for Creators Update, arriving Spring 2017..

As I wrote before, the only one reason why I'm still on build 14393 is DeskBand which is working very well:)

adamo000: they have announced some "people bar" in taskbar, so I am afraid that they can break it for good. We'll see..

Let's hope they don't, but I will find the solution in any case. Even if they remove taskbar integration from windows we would be able to run deskband as floating window or standalone program.

thanks, Unblocking it worked
the first time I checked the .zip properties there was no "Unblock", maybe because it was in the Temp folder (I chose "open" instead of "download")
the plugin is very customizable! thank you again :)

In the newest build 14971.1000.161111 DeskBand still does not work. Nice to read, that you will not suspend your work with this greatest plugin for fb2k :)

Hello guys.

I've updated my VM to insider build and, as expected, deskband stops working. I have researched a problem a little bit, and it looks like they broke all third-party deskband apps. I suggest everyone who wants to be able to run deskband in future windows versions to upvote this issue in their Feedback Hub App. Search for terms like 'toolbar', 'deskband', 'custom toolbar', etc.

P.S. I've found how to fix this, so to speak - delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{668863E6-D688-4115-8F23-BB7F37621A74} key in the registry. You will have to take ownership and give yourself full access.
For those wondering what the hell it is - looks like unfinished people band...

Damn... It is really works! Now I can update my Windows 10 to latest insider version!
Thank you very much!

I installed this and when I right click on taskbar and select deskband controls form toolbars it appears just for a second and then disappears. I am able to right click on it and choose settings in that second if that can help.
