Yeah your focus issues are probably not related to TAIVA at all, sorry =( If anything, it was related to the old VolumeUp and VolumeDn keys that causes your volume to be shown and might take focus. But if that was the case it would have beee fixed in 1.4, so I don't know.
I do not want to go back to that because it used a 3rd party DLL to control the volume and I had no idea what it was actually doing behind the scene.
Anyway, beta 5 is on the FTP. You can set ManualVolumeUseAPI=False and ManualVolumeShowProgressBar=False to go back to the old ways of manually moving the volume.
I also made the volume slider thinner by default to not take up half the screen. It also uses the IdleFlashTransparency setting to be transparent. New settings to control how it looks below.
And to be honest, I'm really sick of Hyperspin. Its a piece of crap. Sometimes it just stops like its loosing focus when it has not (My check program still says its in focus).
If you want to give the new volume display another chance, leave ManualVolumeShowProgressBar=True
I'm not sure how your old volume display looked like, but this should make it look like mine does:
IdleFlashProgressBarWidth=20
IdleFlashProgressBarHeight=300
IdleFlashProgressBarLeft=5
IdleFlashProgressBarTop=-1
IdleFlashProgressBarVertical=True
If you want to see something cool, try
IdleFlashProgressBarWidth=1920
IdleFlashProgressBarHeight=1200
IdleFlashProgressBarLeft=-1
IdleFlashProgressBarTop=-1
IdleFlashProgressBarVertical=False
where 1920x1200 is your monitor resolution.. =)
Or perhaps
IdleFlashProgressBarWidth=1920
IdleFlashProgressBarHeight=20
IdleFlashProgressBarLeft=-1
IdleFlashProgressBarTop=0
IdleFlashProgressBarVertical=False
Edit: New beta5 if you're already downloaded it. IdleFlashProgressBar should not flash anymore.

Code:
ManualVolumeUseAPI=
Normally, when manually changing the volume up and down, we use the Windows API for that. If you'd rather use the alternate method to do that
set this to False. It will then use the internal system to raise and lower volume. When False, there is a good chance that the volume will be
displayed on screen by your sound drivers. Some people prefer to show that. Matter of taste.
Valid: True/False
Default: False
The volume slider shown for IdleFlashProgressBar=True and ManualVolumeShowProgressBar is now thinner and looks better IMO.
IdleFlashProgressBarWidth=
This controls the width in pixels of the IdleFlashProgressBar.
Default: 665
IdleFlashProgressBarHeight=
This controls the Height in pixels of the IdleFlashProgressBar.
Default: 19
IdleFlashProgressBarLeft=
How many pixels from the left should the IdleFlashProgressBar appear? Set -1 for the center of the screen.
Default: -1
IdleFlashProgressBarTop=
How many pixels from the top should the IdleFlashProgressBar appear? Set -1 for the center of the screen.
Default: -1
IdleFlashProgressBarVertical=
Set this to True if you want a vertical volume bar instead of the default horizontal one.
Note that if changing this, you should switch the IdleFlashProgressBarWidth and IdleFlashProgressBarHeight
values around of course.
Default: FalseIf you want to give the new volume display another chance, leave ManualVolumeShowProgressBar=True
