hey guys!

im new to editing/creating themes for the vlc and what im after achiving is this..
i use a dell inspiron duo (the one with the flip screen) and vlc as my default movie player (running win 7 ultimate 32bit)

and when im using vlc in full screen mode while having the laptop in tablet mode the full screen controls that pop up and disapear is a bit on the small side
and i am after increasing the size of the buttons to make it easier to control while in this mode

i understand i cant edit the "native" skin so i would use the "deafult" skin as a base for this, however, the full screen controls dont automatically dissapear
when you move the mouse away from them...

so the questions are...

can anyone help me with editing the options or xml info i need to make the buttons bigger

and

to enable the controls to disapear automatically when the mouse is moved away..

and

the default position of the full screen controls..

im sure ill have to edit the xml file info which ill have a bash at..
i just need to know where to look and what to look for..
and ill just play about untill i get it sized how i want
an also how to save it properly lol

im not looking to do anything fancy just edit these options

if anyone can help that would be great!

For 2. and 3. take a look here:

For the Fullscreen Controls you have to wait for VLC 1.2 but you can allready put the new features in you skin.
