Thanks, Feedback, Issues
« on: October 23, 2026, 01:08:55 PM »
So first of all, I’d like to say thanks for all this work.

For the first time since 2008, i’ve got something like Winamp running on my PC again. I even found my old settings folder with all my bookmarks. ;D

Things like how often I’ve listened to a track and so on, along with ratings. Everything worked, and I was even able to reactivate my Big Bento skin. So far, so great,thanks for that.

It works pretty well overall. Now for my issue: I’m using my PC with a 55-inch LG TV at 4K resolution and 300 percent Windows11 scaling. Everything’s a bit all over the place here, to the point where I have really tiny buttons in some windows. The question is whether there’s anything else that can be optimized here.

The next thing is that when i have the program open in Windows 11 and it’s in the foreground, and i click on the Firefox window, for example, program always stays in the foreground. Is there a way to change that? So those are my two biggest issues right now, luxury problems, really that the scaling is sometimes problematic, and that WACUP is always in the foreground, as you can see here in the screenshot, and I have no way to bring the other programs to the foreground when i activate them. I always have to minimize WACUP.

With the on top aspect that's not the default behaviour & I'd go to the main right-click menu -> options -> un-check the "always on top" option if it's checked (or you can try using the Ctrl+A shortcut to toggle it - it depends on what part of the skin is focused as to how that works or not).

With the other part, the first one is to go to Preferences -> Appearance has some options for changing the font for what's seen within the media library & playlist editor windows (irrespective of the skin type being used) along with the Ctrl+NumPad Plus/Numpad Minus to bump the font size without having to go into the preferences. That's assuming the size of the text isn't right for what's wanted.

Secondly due to you using a modern style skin (as the Bento skins fall under), either go to main right-click menu -> window settings -> scaling or preferences -> skins -> modern skins -> window settings tab & then change the scaling of the outer ui elements of the skin.

Between both of them you should hopefully get something that works. I'd also advise against trying to manually force the OS to do the scaling of things on the process since that can & will break what's going on especially with the modern skin window handling which doesn't like the OS forced scaling modes from what I've seen.
