AVS hides behind Album Art

I have searched and searched for a problem with the AVS Visual Plugin hiding behind album art when clicking in the next track button when playing music -please help. This happens in all skins. I did a fresh load of WinXP, RR, device drivers and newest version of the plugin. I have tried it with newest and old version of WinAmp. I click on next track and it hides behind the album art and see a row of single pixels of the AVS plugin below the Album art, I can even click on the row of pixel to bring the AVS window forward and in front of the Album art but as soon as I advance to the next track or even if I let the song change by itself the AVS window hides again.I'm going...

I think its designed to that.

which skin. Did you make a screensaver.ini file?

I am using the standard Brushed Metal Black or even the Alum one...only happens with AVS. If I change the Visual to Milkdrop works fine, no hiding when switching tracks on the same skin. I am not using a screensaver as well.

This is a side effect of embedding the AVS window within RR's skin.. move the AVS to a different location than the album art and it should work fine. IF you enable the AVS transparency it should also work.

So are you saying if I enable the AVS transparency and say set it to 90% or even %100 opacity...I will not have to move it, and it should stay on top? Do I have to do this in the skin.ini (I think thats where its at) or in the plugin? Is there any chance to fixing this side-effect? I know your busy!

Guino is the man!

I need to know this, too.
