Hello, I am currently having a few quirks with Advanced Launcher to launch some apps. First off, an issue with launching Windows 8 metro apps using a shortcut. When XBMC is in Full Screen and I launch a Metro App from within XBMC, it will minimize XBMC when the command window flashes for a second, and then launch the Windows 8 app. So when I hit alt f4 to kill that metro app, the XBMC is down in the task bar and I'm just sitting at a desktop.
Is there anyway I can restore the XBMC window or make it not minimize? Which kind of leads to the next issue. If I set XBMC to a borderless full screen window instead of true fullscreen, the above issue goes away. Switches without minimizing and closing the metro app puts me right back at XBMC. Why not leave it like that you ask?
Second issue is, I end up having problems with other Advanced Launcher applications when using the borderless full screen window. For instance, Zsnes or Snes9x emulators run super super slow to unplayable levels with XBMC in a borderless full screen window. I'm talking like 10 FPS on a Core i5. IDK if this has to do with XBMC background resources, but I just can't use it in that state.
Any suggestions where I can make this work with both scenarios? I've literally been trying to solve this for over a week and I'm super frustrated.
