In windows 10, I don't see a way to get other application windows to respect the Miniplayer's docked presence at a screen border like the Windows taskbar gets. Regardless where the Miniplayer is docked at a screen border, other windows underlay it when they are maximized or otherwise automatically expanded (e.g. Win-key + left/right arrow to throw an application window to fill either the left or right 50% of the screen). This means that all other windows must be manually moved and dimensioned around the Miniplayer and keyboard quick-positioning shortcuts cannot be used at all; not a practical solution.
With most applications embracing a thin and minimalist UI design, the Miniplayer ends up blocking top menu/Tab bars, bottom Status bars or side Scroll bars. This kind of makes the Miniplayer useless as it must constantly be moved around the screen.
Thanks
