I made a OSD / Control bar skin to match MCE, but I am still having a few problems.

The activity on the ends of the control bar at the start and end is kind of strange, and I can't figure out how to get the active image to work right.

I also can not figure out how to change the size and font of the OSD.

My first skin, kind of fun!

Thanks,

Garth

The OSD font is controlled from within the application.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do with the control bar... And the active buttons only work on the GUI and not within the control bar at present times.

I am trying to build a skin for the control bar to match MCE 2005

I love zoomplayer, but have not found any skins I would consider HTPC friendly.

Perhaps you can post a screenshot of the MCE bar so I can take a look.

Hey garthvh,

I made a skin that mimics another popular HTPC media player and you can find it at HTPC News along with an article describing certain setup options for ZP:

or the actual skin itself is here:

http://www.htpcnews.com/images/psuedo/pseu...kin_nomouse.zip

It was originally created for 3.30, but I'm assuming it would still work with 4.0.

Anyway, I made it specifically for my HTPC to be displayed on a TV, so with any luck it might fit your needs as well...

I used your skin to make mine

I will take a screenshot tonight and post it.

I have fixed up my skin some, and I have just one problem left, I got it to start 49 pixels into the control bar, but I can not make it stop 49 pixels before the end.

garth:
You need to do something like:
cBarRightMargin = (49)

[garthvh]

It is actually the TimeLineCBarActive item that I want to stop 49 pixels before the end of the bar.

I'm not sure I get you... maybe a screenshot detailing what you mean?

[garthvh]

I have attached pictures of the control bar start, which is set up the way I want, with the timeline current edge starting 40 pixels into the control bar.

The image below shows the problem with the timeline current edge overshooting the end of the control bar, I would like it to end 40 pixels before the end like the start.

This is how I got the bar to start in 40 pixels
// Timeline Current edge
TimeLineCBarActive(299,4,7,92,40,0)

My "guess" is that you you start/end bitmaps that actually contain the border in them... that's not good.
