    and more versatile skin.

  * The mouse left click (DVD/Media), double click and middle click
    can now be assigned custom functions.

  * New Setting (Advanced Options / Interface / OSD / Fullscreen
    Navigation), allowing you to enable a Safe Mode where potentially
    unsafe navigation functionality (cut/copy/paste/erase files)
    is hidden from the function list.

  * New Setting (Advanced Options / Interface) allowing you to have
    Zoom Player switch to fullscreen/zoom modes when starting to
    play new content.

    media file.

    window is maximized.

    interface is active.

    editor interface is maximized.

  * New Skin Script Commands allowing you to have Transparent
    elements within the timeline (both on the control bar and

    you to change the button's hint value depending on the button
    active state.

    values, allowing you to set a button image when the button is
    both active and the mouse is hovering over it.

  + Entering a negative FunctionParam value on any of the group
    skin script functions ensures that the skin's window size
    remains unchanged (use with care).

  + The Play List, Media Library and File Browser navigation interfaces
    only check for the existance of an external subtitle file once
    (instead of checking each time the interface is opened).

  - Opening the Options dialog on a Monitor/TV with a resolution lower
    than 800x600 will show scroll bars allowing the dialog to remain
    accessible.

    list) would not show under certain conditions.

    interfaces.

    always work properly.

  - You could add the "Previous Directory" to the play list in the
    File / Media Library navigation interfaces.
