My Question or Issue
On the widget windows (on the game tab) ) if you click on the button "▼" the widget is resized to show a list of songs and artists.
Bug 1: if I have the widget on the bottom of the corner and you click on the "▼" button, it will open the list down. In picture one you can see the before and the after.
If you click again on the "▼" button it will be resized to the original size but in a different position.
Resolution 1:
Create an event on the move of the widget. when the event is triggered you save the widget's position on the screen. after the click of the "▼" button, you can use the position to decide if the widget will be resized up or down.
Bug 2: if you have Spotify closed, and no widget opened, you open Spotify and after that, you open the widget, the widget does not recognize the application opened and is not working (the app is already opened so if you click on "start to listen" nothing happened, I think there's an error, please check)
Bug 3: you have opened the widget and it's working, you put the song on pause and after some time the original app goes on standby, if you click on the widget now you can't put it on play and you have to open the Spotify app.
Bug 4: if you close the Spotify app the widget will close, this is a problem because I want to use the widget not only because is easy access to music, but I also want the memory used to be lesser than the app (it's not important if it's true, but if I have the app opened I think it will use a lot of memory)
Resolution 4: Create a service, the service it's installed and always on, you can shoot down it if you close the widget AND the app, the service is the real app, the Windows app (not the widget) it's just the layout, the APIs are called in the service.
