Most Unobtrusive Position for Small iTunes Window? - Page 2

sinclair_tm · #9 July 7th, 2006, 12:08 AM

what rez do you have the monitor set at? i'm running at 1280*1024, and put itunes into mini mode and stick it in the lower right, just above my dock (which just about runs across my whole screen) and size my windows to not cover itunes. and it all works for me.

Lower right corner works for me, as I hide the Dock. Launching happens through LaunchBar here, switching between apps is a matter of Cmd-Tabbing (and since Jaguar, I believe, doesn't show the Dock anymore), so I rather have it out of the way. The mini-iTunes window only gets in the way with my Adobe apps down there. But then I'm working and either have no music playing or know what's playing and simply hide iTunes completely. Btw.: You can still hide iTunes by hitting Cmd-H if the mini-window is activated, and Cmd-Tabbing to iTunes brings it back to front. Easy and quick enough and doesn't get in the way.

I hide my Dock, too. But the lower-right corner doesn't work for me, as I have my Forecastfox displayed there.

whats forecastfox? if its weather info, use the wigets in dashboard.

wait, hold on.

sorry, didn't notice that you were using 10.3. that explains why you have a weather app. well, what about your lower left corner?

I *hate* widgets. Annoying little bastards. Which is one of many reasons why I chose to keep Panther, even though my computer shipped with Tiger software.

Lower left corner masks the status bar. But that's OK, I think I've found the perfect place for it. Lately, I've just been sticking it at the top center of my screen. Sure, it partially hides the URL bar, but I rarely need to see that anyway.

Well why can't you Hide iTunes while it is running?

There is a way to disable Dashboard I think. It doesn't bother me. Then again, I have an iMac G5 to handle the load.

I should try it out on a G4 Mac just to see the difference. Maybe it gives a performance hit to older Macs that I'm not aware of.

Because I like to minimize the window so that I can constantly see what song/artist is playing.
