Summary | 0003614: Skin artifacts (flashing of seekbar, flashing in volume bar, fade-in of mini-player) | ||||
Description | 1) SeekBar briefly flashes to the start position when rating a song via the player. 2) The MicroPlayer flickers in the area of the VolumeBar when it is in the Vertical orientation. This happens most often when I stop a track and start to play it again (Horizontal MicroPlayer works as expected). 3) MiniPlayer displays a black silhouette-shape before initializing. Ideally these should be resolved for 3.0, but if high risk, we can push. | ||||

There is one more bug which is more critical than all the others. 4) When in Mini Player, press the "Switch to micro player"-button. Then press the restore-button in the Micro Player. This will sometimes cause a total mockup of the mini player's element (in fact using the resources from the micro player instead) and the micro player will be showing as well. I am not able to take a screenshot of this, as the clipboard gets disabled by this bug. Note: I have also noted that if the restore-button in micro player loads main-mode instead, starting a song/stopping the song playing will make your chances to bump into this bug larger. Also note; The "switch to"-button in Micro Player is not working as it should. It should always be loading the PREVIOUS viewing-mode the user were in. In example, if the user goes to micro player from the main-mode it should go back again to main-mode when the user presses the switch-button. Assigning to Rusty to verify and review the new issues. |

4) I can't reproduce this 5) This _is_ an issue, though not a terribly severe one. Petr, if it's too difficult to fix, we'll re-open as a new lower priority bug. |

Re. 3 and 4, morten also indicated that: a) Program is loading the resources every time you swtich to main-theme. You can see through the program - something which shouldn't happen. b) Black/various things loading before the miniplayer shows up. He created a screencap, but I still couldn't discern the problem. However, I've created a flash video (posted to the ftp) that kind of shows how the MiniPlayer sometimes shows a bunch of garbage in the background as it appears. |

To summarize the remaining open issues: 2) The MicroPlayer flickers in the area of the VolumeBar when it is in the Vertical orientation. This happens most often when I stop a track and start to play it again (Horizontal MicroPlayer works as expected). 3) MiniPlayer displays a black/snowy silhouette-shape before appearing 5) When you alt tab or minimize and reopen MM, it gets graphical artifacts at the sides. This is the most significant of the 3 bugs, though all give a bad impression. |

fixed items 2 and 5. |
|
After some investigation, item 3 is probably about display driver. Mini player uses windows layering which using direct access to video memory for using semi-transparent layered window. It's not a huge issue and might take some time to find out how to fix it, so i'll change priority to urgent and will finish it later. |

This has been fixed or is no longer an issue in MM 4.0.0.1358. |
