Boxee Launcher Changelog
What's new in Boxee Launcher 1.0.1.3 Beta
May 21, 2010- Release Notes:
- Added a background window that attempts to display over the desktop and taskbar, and below Boxee and Media Center so that the desktop and taskbar are visible for a minimal amount of time.
- Added configuration file in install path, allowing a user to configure the background window color and turn it on or off.
- Placing a "Background.png" in the install directory will display that image on the background window (I don't recommend this, as it shows for a very short period of time)
- Notes:
- The taskbar can still be visible for very short periods of time, but it should be much better than before.
New in Boxee Launcher 1.0.1.2 Alpha (May 21, 2010)
- Will now stop Media Center playback before launching Boxee
New in Boxee Launcher 1.0.1.0 Alpha (May 21, 2010)
- Features:
- Will attempt to hide the mouse as much as possible, and show the desktop for the least amount of time possible.
- If you exit Boxee through the menu or another means, Media Center will be brought to the foreground, maximized, and the mouse will be hidden.
- If Media Center becomes the foreground window while Boxee is running, Boxee will be automatically closed.
- Known Issues:
- In Windows 7, on DPI higher than 125%, the taskbar will remain visible while switching between applications. I have no idea why, and will probably not look into this issue.
- When switching from Boxee back to Media Center, the desktop is visible longer than I'd like. I'll probably work on improving this sooner or later.
- Notes:
- Any exceptions will be logged (poorly) to %LOCALAPPDATA%\BoxeeLauncher\logfile.txt
- I tried to make it not matter what you have "Always on Top" set to in MC, but it warrants additional testing to confirm.
