The VideoLAN Forums

Rather than stick this in my other main VLC 1.0 thread, I wanted to make the topic separate since the features are desirable for eye candy/novelty over actual convenience and I always put convenience suggestions first priority. They can can even come as plugins or just built into the application itself.

Can I suggest some eye candy that would be at the much lower priority:

1. Add scrolling text to VLC
*option to choose text scrolling speeds (either by toggle or in preferences)
* text could scroll in these places; closed on taskbar and on main interface



2. Audio only: 'DANCING' as Visulization in the video window
*Colour settings, rotation, animation, speed, text size and font
I have never seen this before but I have dreamt of it numerous times. I don't know if it is possible but would be nice if a brave developer could try it. It would make an entertaining feature for VLC if The text itself would be the audio metadata (like the id3) otherwise if none of that in the file then simply the filename text could dance, move around. Would look nice in fullscreen - fullscreen with VLC showing on a big screen HD televison oh hell yeah

Like a mini in-built Powerpoint, except for VLC playback purposes.

3. Button clicking sounds
Like on Walkman mp3 players have and also some non-media player applicatiuons on windows like Flasget and Atlantis Word Processor.

3. I (and i think most other people) think that making noises on button clicks is really annoying like in IE7 it just feels "cheap"

1. I like it but don't know how to do it correctly.
2. Code is welcome Else, projectM should come in VLC soon.
3. I really don't like.
