hiding VLC Logo and changing background color for IE plugin?

Postby slee » 30 Jan 2008 22:26

I'm trying to make a web page for IE with a somewhat seamless design, so I'd like to be able to change the object/embed area to have a black background minus the traffic cone logo. I've looked through the documentation but I can't find anything about how to control the background color of the object area or how to get rid of the logo. Any suggestions?

So far, you can't without modifying the source.

but in IE, you can cheat...

you can add an image with the same dimensions and switch display="none" to display="block" alternatively in javascript

it works well, but not on Firefox (for Firefox theres another trick)

My javascript lib can do that : http://code.revolunet.com/VLCcontrols

so can taking out the logo only be used when using your controls or without the controls can be done the same.

i am looking at your code now and see where you put the display.

but what is the trick to the firefox? my project will be embedding firefox so i will need this type.

In firefox, there is no code, just a "no video" text.

hello

in Firefox : switch the size of the VLC control and the image : 1px x 1px to hide it

In IE, its cleaner, just switch display:none to display:block, it works well

i dont know whats the f!*# with Mozilla but we have to play with sizes...

the logo is great in IE but on firefox, the 'no video' black screen is not the best effect

i'm going to try to add a changeBackground function to the plugins code...
