Thanks for keeping this app for only one specific feature its small and gets job well

feature suggestions

-stay on top feature will be very helpful, so dont have to click every time when i want to skipping tracks -clicking on song info can reveal music playing tab for browsers or opens app

Also i guess this one is bug -if no audio playing tray icon disappearing

have a nice day

Thanks for the suggestsions, I will consider implementing the first one.

It is already should open the application on click, but this unfortunately does not work with browsers, because it can't determine the handle of the browser window - it can detect only the process name, and modern browsers typically have a separate process for each tab, making it impossible to determine which process ID owns the window.

The icon in tray is used for two actions - double click or middle click on it to quickly play/pause media playback, or left click on it to open the flyout. If no media is playing, I don't know what it can show there.

also im developing some small apps for macos its possible on there with ui scripting, its weird not on windows . maybe they will add this to chromium in future

nice to know middle click stops audio, thanks

actually i thought app stopped or crashed until next play, maybe you can put an generic album art with no media playing text without buttons. also you can use app's icon (⏵I ) for tray if no audio playing

Also if you need any help about UI & icon designs i can help

hi again,

after 2 months of use i want to share my experiences clicking 2 times for skipping next track gets me bored after a while i tried audio flyout but it has too much bugs also i get an bsod after uninstall so i switched back to your app, then i find an app named tray tools from ancient times, i added next tray icon with that and combination is perfect. tray tools can create a shortcut on tray i added a vbs script as shotcut script i used > CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Sendkeys(Chr(&hB0))

few more suggestions

1- if you add a delay/timer before switching play pause stays same while playback continues. play icon turning pause icon or disappearing for a short time when skipping / changing next track

2- here is a concept image what to show while playback stopped. Of course its not necessary , keeping icon on tray instead of disappear will be enough to show app is running

2

control buttons disabled on this

3- you can add menu with options, if you plan to add next previous icons hiding option would be cool

1

clicking about opens github page

4- as an alternative if you can map right scroll or ctrl click on tray icon for next track would work as well

thanks for taking your time on this, really appreciated
