the global hotkeys SHOULD work even with full-screen applications...there shouldn't be a reason why it doesn't. Although if it doesn't it deff is a Xion issue.
Cliff is there a way to get the functionality of Winamp in regards to the global hotkeys functionality?
I haven't tested this myself mostly because I play games in windowed mode so that I can play with the playlist even when im playing a game, but once I get a better computer I may play games in fullscreen mode so I hope this issue can be remedied, if it is indeed a Xion problem.
There are programs that even Winamp can't receive input through. Some games have reason to disable input to external applications for security / hacking reasons. They can be bypassed at some level, but usually it's unavoidable.
I tried with counter strike source, and all inputs went through, so you're right about it working with some games.
Wish I had more games to try with, but I got a major virus infection this weekend and I had to format everything, and since I haven't installed that many games.
But as spotify can read inputs while playing crysis, I see no reason why xion wouldn't.
I run dual screen if that changes anything...(game on 1st screen, xion +a few chats on the other)
