Status of work

26th May

          prototype of fullscreen controller is working on linux,
          but on windows there is issue with hidding of FS controller
          I requested Tanguy Krotoff for svn account in VLC(-mplayer) Phonon backend repository

28th May

          I have account in VLC(-mplayer) Phonon backend repository
          FSC works in unintergrated and integrated video

29th May

          hidding on windows is working, it is done by trick, but
          searching for resolving problem with hide() continue

2nd June

          remove equalizer button from FSC
          it seems nobody knows why hide() doesnt work for windows,
          so it is solved by setting opacity and resending key press
          events to libvlc
