That being said, while I did mention I don't have a HUGE problem with it, there is one thing I found rather annoying (aside from the window not doing it's fun resizing routine at the end of a video anymore): Control buttons aren't dynamic... Having just upgraded, it seems odd to me (though I didn't pay as much attention in .8 either to tell you the truth) that it is so noticeable though that the buttons stick to a static position in relation to a corner, instead of like, the horizontal middle of the video.
I don't understand your point.

I was referring to the positioning of the buttons. They are static in .8 as well, as I took the time to notice recently... Don't really care anymore. As a fun thought though, just curious as to if you are able, is it easily doable to make dynamic position buttons (as opposed to static position)? I mean like, relating them to the empty space on the bottom stretching or what have you.

Again, I couldn't care less if this were to be implemented, just curious about it.

I still don't understand what you call dynamic and static buttons... Position?Shape?Form?Size?icon?

I think he means buttons should have relative position based on the size of the window. E.g. In the current behavior, the "show playlist" button is roughly in the center when VLC first starts but if you enlarge the window, it will be to the left of center.

And how is that different from 0.8.6 ?

Sorry to update this post again, but i would like to know where the option "Use non native buttons and volume slider" is hidden (previously in Interface/main interfaces/Qt when displaying all preferences) in 1.0.0 version.

In fact i would like to get the "old" slider...

I've been trying to make my version 1.0 to be like 0.8 too...
I almost give it up to return to 0.8... but I think I'll hold on.....

in version 1.0, how can I move the timer in status bar to the left?

You can't. Because it is buggy in 0.8, where the time is cut.

You can do it with the 1.1.x using the toolbar edition.
