Embedded Browser Plgin Controls

Postby rsaccon » 30 Jun 2005 18:16

while this browser controls also could be done in javascript, it think it would be nice t have controls embedded plugin surface.
I have read somewhere that this is in the works. I think the problem is, that it should look good, be easy to use and not disturb.

Here my suggestion how that can be achieved:

when the user moves the mouse over the plugin surface, the control fades in and overlays (opacaity: maybe 50 %) the video. Just a nice sllider/scrollbar showing current position and some play/stop and volume control. When the user moves the mouse out of the plugin surface, the control starts to fade out.

I don't think you have a clue how difficult it is to make what you are proposing here...
We will work step by step as always. Starting easy, improving from there.
Don't use PMs for support questions.

DJ, I have a clue, because I have experience myself doing this kind of stuff (but only on windows, with ActiveX and NSAPI), and I know very well that it is not easy at all.

Now you are going to say, that patches are always welcome :), well let's see ..

[Edited] just now I was using Picasa and that software is great example for slick controls within the images.
