Hello:

Please see the picture below:



This happens when I switch from a 3rd party mini skin, such as nofrills,  to the standard skin.  This does not happen when switching from the integral mini skins to the standard skin.  It is kind of a pain to get the playback controls of the standard skin back once this happens.  I have to click on the audio or video section, then click on the little square arrow box in the upper right corner, which expands the standard view back to it's regular view.  I've reported on this before, but you were not able to reproduce this.  This phenomenon never happened with MC14.  Can you possibly look into it again?  Thank you very kindly.

That looks like "Cover View".  Hit F11 a couple of times.

That works to get my standard view/now playing back the way I like it, thank you, but can you tell my why it is not returning to the view in which I last left it?  I have it set to start in now playing.

I was mistaken.  It's not just third party skins, it's the mini skins that are included with MC15 as well.  Let me explain further.  Suppose I have the mini skin "no frills" set and playing on my desktop.  I want to access options, so I right click on the skin, and left click standard view.  Instead of a windowed or full screen standard view complete with toolbar and play features, I am presented with this:



When I hit F11, I get this:



Hit F11, I get again, and this:



One more time:



And finally, the view I wanted in the first place when I first clicked "standard view" from the mini skin:



How can I get the behavior I want in the first place?  Thanks Matt.

Best Regards,

Cary

This sounds like a bug, but I need some help reproducing it.

I show a mini skin like 'Eutow', then right-click it and say 'Return to Standard View'.

It get Standard View, not Cover View.

Does this only happen if you start in Mini View, or is there some other trick to making it happen?

Thanks.

This seems to be the key.

It'll be fixed in a coming build.

Thank God.  *lol*  It was making me a little batty!
