[QUOTE="greybox, post: 674934, member: 87693"] Thanks, Chris! I tried to move the pause bar to the top and it didn't work very well. Just moving the whole OSD to the top of the screen is not always desirable because the object of our interest could be anywhere on the screen. The OSD itself covers a big object. Sometimes the subtitles or event description go on the top of the screen, sometimes we will need a print screen without any OSD at all. With my limited knowledge I was able to slightly modify the existing Blue3 wide skin to permanently disable the pause osd by removing some of "player.paused" conditions in common.play.progressbar.xml and videoFullScreen.xml, and it works for me except for on-line movies plugin, but this is not the best solution. Better solution would be like on most video players - there is a blinking || or the word "pause" simbol in the right top corner of the screen. Same approach is already used in your picture viewer. But the only little problem with this is we can't be sure if the simbol will stay on the print screen, and also we wont' see the progress bar at all. The best and universal solution would be to show the OSD for a number of seconds (configurable or not) and then time out this bar like you time out another OSD. The main info OSD times out. We could use same behavior and apply same timeout period. Will this require just the skin programming, or something else? By the way, why do we need two separate OSDs - one universal OSD shoud cover all our needs. [/QUOTE]
