Change History

Looking good, though it gets quite large and overwhelming. A couple of remarks we should discuss:

  • The layout block is now a large, totally new one. Is that needed, or can we do the same with one or a few settings?
  • Do we actually need controlbar button positioning? Isn't just the showing/hiding of controlbar buttons enough? That can be done by simply not inserting the elements.
  • Same goes for the layout identifiers. Shouldn't we just have a layout setting with a bunch of options, for both the controlbar and playlist? At the one side it is nice that individual fonts can be set in the playlist, on the other side this finegrained control is probably overkill compared to the fact there's no control on placement of the playlistItem elements.

Overall, I think we should only incrementally change the skinning model: fix the smaller issues and leave the requests that require structural changes.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

The attached skin should reflect the 1.1 XML skin format. The changes to the skinning model will need to be thoroughly documented as well.
