time and $T, $L, $D ....

Hi guys.
Firstly, I wanted to congratulate ipkiss and asmax for the "VLC skins2" skinning engine : the XML language is not as hard as I expected.
Everything is quite clear and simple.
I use VLC 0.8.4-test2 (under windowsxp) and I am trying to create a VLC skin.
Though, I found an annoying little problem.
My skin is not finished : I just made the "Winshade mode" (a thin horizontal bar that doesn't fill the whole screen), the "normal mode" will come soon.
The problem with the winshade mode : I want to be able to switch between the "time elapsed" and "the remaining time".
To do that, I had to create 2 layouts almost identical : one with the "time elapsed", another for the "remaining time".
It's a bit silly to have to do this because it could be solved if you just added the possibility to click on the text (on the elapsed time ($T)) and instead, display the "remaining time " ($L) or "file duration" ($D).
Here is what I typed :
Here is what I would like :
Or another option, calling the action from a button :
I suggest you this feature because that could avoid me to have to add another layout (with all the same buttons..). I beg you to add this feature
Thanks in advance.
