vlc change skin and position

Hello, I am new here and i would like to ask a question! i am making an adobe air application that through a native process calls vlc.exe with some command line parameters. I want to use a skin for the vlc that has no wrapper - just the video area with nothing around it. So i made a new skin with just a video area only! When i call vlc.exe with the the parameter (-I ncurse) the --video-x and --video-y arguments work like a charm. when I call vlc with the parameter (-I skins2 --skins2-last...) though the skin is loaded properly the --video-x and --video-y arguments stop working and the vlc component remains in the same position (x = 0, y=0) whatever is the value if the --video-x and --video-y! What is wrong in here? Is something wrong in the skin? (in order to create the skin i took the default.vlt and removed all the unecessery controls and components from the skin - is this wrong?)
Please help!

The skins2 interface doesn't use video-x and video-y.

All placements (window, video control, ..... ) are read from the theme.xml file. (attributes are x and y expressed in pixels).
Default values are (0,0) if not provided.
