Songbird does not follow Windows 7 windows rules
Windows 7 has an area in the bottom right corner you can hover over to expose your desktop. It also gives you outlines of all open windows, so you can see if any windows are hidden by other windows. Songbird doesn't do that, Songbird's window disappears entirely. you can see an example in the screenshot below.
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?I'm pretty sure this is simply a limitation of the Win7 "Peek" function rather than a problem with Songbird. It is unable to show windows that don't use a standard window title bar or border. For example, I have seen the same thing occur with some Java apps and even Windows media player with certain skins. -
Inappropriate?Happysin,
Windows 7 is unsupported at the moment(we don't test on it just yet).
If you believe, that described behaviour is a Songbird bug, file a bug report in Bugzilla.
If you don't have a free Bugzilla account, signing up is quick and easy and will allow you to share your feedback directly with the development team.
Thanks. -
Inappropriate?This really looks like a windows problem, try if another program like ImageJ or any Java program with non "standard window" has this behaviour.......
That would be interesting for me.

Inappropriate?Bah, logging in ate my post.
ImageJ works just fine. Will report bug in Bugzilla.
Let me know if you need Win7 Songbird testers, I'll be using it heavily anyway.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?I just tried ImageJ 1.41 on the Win7 beta and it has a standard window, so of course it works. As I said in my first reply, I have tried other programs without a standard window and they all exhibit the same behavior as Songbird.

That feather makes Songbird use the default window rules of the OS, and yes, that means Aero Peek works with it
I’m happy i came across it
