[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1260788, member: 141969"] Strange. :confused: The file "VolumeHandler.cs" is the MP source file that implements the volume control, but it is not a skin file. You will have this file on your system only if you have downloaded the MP source from SourceForge, and it will reside in an MP source tree (depending where you unzip it); it won't reside in the skin folder. If you are not a programmer, there is no particular reason to download the source (other than to look at it). I scanned the source using Windows "findstr.exe" to build a list of all of the built-in skin variables (since many are not documented in the Wiki). There is a skin file for the volume control, although I am not sure whether it is mandatory or optional. However, if you have one I think that it must be called "VolumeOverlay.xml". Perhaps this file is missing? Looking at DWHD, I see that it includes the relevant volume tags directly in "Common.Play.xml", whereas in my "ClassicWide" skin I use the <import> tag to include the volume xml file in "MyTvFullScreen.xml" and "VideoFullScreen.xml". Both ways seem to work satisfactorily. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
