I love gbpvr's full-screen option but I wish there was a choice to have it full-screen only during playback.
When I'm in the gbpvr menus I'd love to be able to see the Windows Taskbar as I have a number of system tray icons that are useful. For one, gbpvr's own recording service icon tells you quickly whether you have a recording active or not, plus the MVP tray icons tell me whether I have MVP users active. With the shutdown plugin I can restart the machine with just my remote from within gbpvr, but I don't want to do that if I have recordings or mvp users active, something I can't determine without first getting my lazy butt off the couch, finding my keyboard, hitting the Windows key to activate the taskbar and checking the statuses.
All of this can be solved by not allowing gbpvr to go full-screen, but during video playback I don't want to see all the taskbar nonsense.
