Disable lock screen controls?
« on: January 14, 2020, 10:26:21 AM »
When I bring up my Lock Screen on Windows 10 there's controls in the lower right hand corner. How do I disable these?

I assume you're talking about the now integrated player controls for WACUP.
The only way to disable this iirc is to disable the plugin gen_win10shell or something like that in the preferences.
Maker of Plugins, I suppose.
gen_native:

vis_sdl2:

(I know, creative names)

It shouldn't change anything else as that plug-in (which you can just uncheck on the general purpose plug-ins page) purely relates to that OS integration. In the future I don't know what it might end up needing to do which would then involve the plug-in gaining configuration options but for the time being, disabling it as noted is the on/off switch for the integration support.
