Hi!
I made some changes to the VideoEditor screens in the Xface skin to fix some layout problemsand make some aesthetic changes which, for me, make it more attractive to use. I'm sharing them here in case anyone else finds them helpful.
Changes:
If you want to use it, just unzip the attached zip file into your MediaPortal folder (assuming you already have Xface installed). You might want to take a backup first in case you don't like it.
(Note that I've hardcoded some strings to avoid having to change the strings files. This is also the reason that "0:00" displays as "'0:00".)
If you use it and notice anything that could be improved, please let me know.
Cheers!

Changes:
- Make the buttons and lists the correct size and standard location.
- Put a button image behind the Cut/Join/Convert/... selection button to make it fit in better.
- Remove the <Back> button. I don't think it's needed.
- Move the original length and current position displays under the screen so they are in the field of view when editing.
- Change "foreward", "backward", "start" and "end" buttons to representative icons. I find it looks less cluttered this way.
- Add an indication of transport mode - Pause, 2x, 4x, etc. (Fast forward and rewind are available with mpg files but not dvr-ms files, I believe.)
