New Skin / Minimal-Mode button

Postby MuldeR » 17 May 2006 22:24

I like VLC's new Skin, but IMO the "Switch to Minimal Mode" button in the upper right corner is a little bit suboptimal. The problem is, that I'm used to have the "Maximize" (Fullscreen) button at this position. So it often happens to me, that I accidently switch to Minimal Mode, although I wanted fullscreen. The problem with that is, that when I switch back to Normal Mode, the video-output remains in the "external" Window and doesn't go back to the skinned interface. So each time I have to stop video, restart and seek to the correct pos.

My suggestions is to switch the position of the "Minimal Mode" button and the "Fullscreen" button.

You could do the change yourself in the XML file, it is very easy to do...

I'll have a look. But what about changing this for release version?

If you want to have Fullscreen, why not just double click on the window ;)
