When XBMC minimize, when it start an external application (using RCB, launcher, executor or Advanced Launcher or any other similar plugin), it is not able to come back correctly to fullscreen when XBMC true fullscreen mode is activated.
I actually have it set to use fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen.
edit: Autohotkey to the rescue once again. Made a script with its winactivate and winmaximize functions that is run from the .bat I use to launch the problematic games. Works fine.
edit2: Oddly, the AHK script works when returning to XBMC from Crysis, but not from Dead Space 2. Final solution - set up Ultramon hotkey to maximize the current window. So the .bat for the game launches the game, then on game close runs the AHK script, which sends the hotkey to Ultramon. Ugly as hell, but it works.
Very unfortunate XBMC doesn't simply redraw itself properly once the offending application is closed.
Thanks for your help and for the add-on!
