As my title says, When I run full screen applications, like games, after I come out of them, xPopup loses its AlwaysOnTop status and will appear beneath other modules. Is there some solution to this other than recycling? I don't want to recycle because that takes forever using xPopup's caching ability, which I like.

I remember seeing that in older versions of xpopup. Are you using the newest version? I don't have that problem with 1.2.5.

Yeah, does it on 1.2.5. As a reliable test, if I run Quake 4 (just the menu even), then quit, the problem immediately shows up. It still stays on top of regular windows, but it still sppears beneath other modules with AlwaysOnTop status (which it shouldn't if it's in focus) and programs like Winamp that have that option.

Play around with your load order of Xpopup...

I have mine loaded after the other xmodules, lower in your list.

how about using a jdesk so the windows can't even run under it?

Immortal:

LoadModule "$LiteStepDir$desktop2.dll"
LoadModule "$LiteStepDir$hotkey.dll"
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$lsxcommand-1.9.4.dll"
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$xTray-1.0.dll"
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$xTaskbar-1.4.dll"
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$xLabel-3.5.5.dll"
LoadModule "$ModulesDir$xPopup-1.2.5.dll"

I shuffled the order around, Quake 4 (as an example, most 3D games will) consistently breaks it each time.


Stalefist: I'm not sure how this would impact things. My main problem is that the popup window appears beneath other modules, especially xlabel. Could jdesk solve this?

In cases like this you may want to use the jdeskrecycle on rez change bang.

I guess thats the last resort...

Immortal:

Well the whole point of this question is if there's a workaround without recycling since that causes an atrocious delay in xPopup when the caching option is enabled. Also, I'm not sure this would work for games that I have running at the same resolution as my desktop.

Maybe there isn't a real solution, I'm just frustrated that I lose my z-depth settings whenever I fire up a game or something.

post the problem over at ls-universe.info. maybe this is a bug. i don't think Andymon takes a look these forums here often.
