I'm trying to modify existing Skins with VLC Skin Editor 0.8.5, to disable the right click function on all of the area of the vlc main window. This is so that the default mini menu does not show. Don't want the Interface function enabled. Also advise on button/field in a skin, to show buffering time while loading.

Many Thanks

As of today, right-clicking on an image control in a skins window triggers the popup menu. Since it is hardcoded in the code, not much can be done at the user level. But, I agree skins developper should be given a way to disable this popup menu.

Do you mean the "buff: x%" that is displayed with the qt4 interface ?. It is not implemented in the skins interface so far.

This should not be allowed to be disabled by the skin developer, as this might be the only way to access the preferences or change the skin.
