Give me some info so that I can fix this in the next release which should be later today.. I know a said that a couple of days ago, but i haven't had time to program but today i will so as long as things go my way and I don't run into any bumps in the road, the new version will be released today and its one, I think, you won't want to miss out on :P

Cool plug-in dude ;)

Excellent job. This is why i love computers :)

Small bug/opertunity: this plug-in does not allow the system screensaver to properly take control of the top, I know the title is "always on top" but this should be "always on top" + "but only sometimes"

See attached image: time lapse image capture of screensaver/iTunes always on top plug-in.

Well I've developed a new plugin for iTunes. This plugin allows you to set "Always in Top" when in Mini Mode and to "Minimize to System Tray"...

Wow, while I like iTunes mostly the way it is, this is one feature that I really would have loved from them... Awesome that I don't have to wait a year for them to add always on top and hide functions!

Did I miss it, or has the next release not been released yet? I always feel like I'm missing something around here, there's so much going on. Just out of curiousity, how exactly are you/did you get the plug-in to control opacity? That's just sweeet.

I haven't released it yet, but i will very very soon.. Ran into some problems with what was supposed to be the simplest thing.. I'm just going to bag that and keep the menu in titlebar instead.. The opacity is adjusted by a Win32 API call that WinXP and 2k provide :P I will update my post and things once the new version is released..
