Hi, i recently started developing a WMP10-like skin for VLC 0.81 (which you may be seeing/using sometime in the near future), when i hit a brick wall...
1. there seems to be an issue with the way Skins2 displays stuff... atleast on Win XP SP2
for example:
say you have text with the media file's playing time displayed on it...
and the Video tag, both within the same Window tag...
then when you attempt to open a video file and play it, the video dissapears after the seconds are updated... (e.g. if you make it fullscreen and small screen again, it will display the video, but once the seconds is increased from say 10seconds to 11 seconds, the video will dissapear)
moreover, ive found this issue to be when hovering over a button, and the video mysteriously dissapears... any solution to those two???
2. also in the Skins documentation, i was reading that you can have lefttop and righttop attributes for text... but this does not seem to be the case (as i tried it, and my skin wouldnt load... so i had to remove those tags)
am i doing something wrong in that case???
3. also one small thing that i dislike is... for the playlists... its nice that there's an attribute to set the background color etc... but what if we dont want to have a background for the playlists? (e.g. ive got a gradient which i'd rather want displayed, but because the playlist requires a background color... the gradient gets hidden)...
Hope for a reply soon, (so i can finish my skin and release it to the masses )
