This particular FE is in my garage and serves as a media player with things like Spotify, Pithos and Plex installed. One of the annoyances is that the Myth FE lives in a fullscreen all the time mode, so the only way to get to to other apps is via alt-tab. This is made more cumbersome by the fact that some of my fellow shadetree mechanics are not the computing genius that I am.<br>
<br></div>I know that Plex will let me switch to windowed mode via the \ button and it can then be minimized. This is not ideal but is a step in the right direction. I was wondering if there was a way I could minimize MythTV via a hotkey or some sort of key combination?<br>

<br></div></blockquote></div>I basically tell Mythtv to be a pixel smaller in height so that it won't capture the fullscreen allowing me to use Mythtv like a regular window. The only real disadvantage is that if you have a lighter window / desktop background behind the Mythtv window, you might see a 1 pixel line at the bottom of the screen. Also I hide my taskbar. The following is the setup:<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">TV-Setup-Appearance-Theme / Screen settings:<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">GUI Height in pixels = 1079 (this would be 1 less than the height. In this example I use 1080)<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
Use GUI size for TV playback = checked<br><br></div></div>
