Black 4x3, Black 16x9, White 4x3, White 16x9, LCARS 4x3.

The Main user interface

The Fullscreen Control Bar
The Audio user interface
The Play List
The Equalizer

Changes from RC3:

CODE

* New Setting (Advanced Options / Interface / OSD / Fullscreen
    Navigation), allowing you show hidden files (default off).

  * New Setting (Advanced Options / Control Bar) allowing the
    Control Bar to hide automatically if the mouse cursor is moved
    a certain distance away from the control bar (50 pixels).

  * New Mouse Left-Click setting to only move the user interface window
    (without the ability to move the video while in fullscreen).

  * New "/MEDIACAT:category name" command line parameter allowing you
    to open the media library navigator within the category selection
    screen when Zoom Player starts.  Using "/MEDIACAT" alone will open
    the category list in the previously saved position, while specifying
    a category name would highlight a specific category, for example
    "/MEDIACAT:Music" would highlight the Music category.

  * New CommAPI message (1950) allowing you to remove items from
    the Playlist.

  + Clicking on the left/right sides of the navigation interfaces is no
    longer restricted to 1 pixel, but rather 1 percent of the interface
    width.
    
  - The "/MEDIANAV:category name" command line parameter was not
    functioning correctly.

  - Under certain conditions the internal image viewer would not position
    the image correctly.

  - Executing external applications on Windows 95/98 could cause a crash.
    This also affected the install center.

  - Fixed small glitches with the skin.

  - Made a few text instances clearer.

  - Few more small bug fixes.

It still doesn't support many of the keys on the Microsoft media center remotes, which would be a nice addition for all of us using Zoomplayer on our HTPC's.

The pause button and back button dont work in particular making it pretty unusable with the most popular remote control for pc's

There is a way of getting round this using a program called HIP which maps remote keys to keypresses, but it would be nice to have a better solution inside zoomplayer.

New version is awesome by the way, love the Codec Center and the user interface, very slick.
