Dialog box for Windows
ObiWanTwo opened this issue · 6 comments
Currently Jellyfin Theater electron does not have a dialog box in order to close/minimize the app.
It would really be nice to have that otherwise it's really hard to move the client around.
looks like a frameless window?
https://electronjs.org/docs/api/frameless-window
main.js has the frame set to false.
var windowOptions = {
transparent: false, //supportsTransparency,
frame: false,
resizable: false,
title: 'Jellyfin Theater',
minWidth: 720,
minHeight: 480,
//alwaysOnTop: true,
skipTaskbar: isWindows() ? false : true,
Linux has pretty easy windows manipulation without a decoration but i can see windows people getting frustrated unless they use Win + arrows or a separate tool like AltWindowsDrag
Setting frame to true at least gets you a window decoration but the size for me is forced so i can't maximise.
Many users have complained about this, I belive though (not quite sure) that the original intention of this app was to be for a home theater pc so it would just load up on something like a raspberry pi or something light weight. Once i finish perfecting this i will setup a little windowed version for desktops and such. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Later i will post how you can hack the code and change it to windowed mode your self if you would like,
Since the repo of jellyfin theater for windows is empty I used the electron version. Now that you stated the purpose of the app I understand better why this feature is lacking.
I will stick with @lachlan-00's solution for now.
Thank you for your answers!
