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
3rd June
press events resending enabled for linux, works fine,
now it is usable. I was trying several tests wtih transparency
it seems to be serious problem on windows, it is blinking a lot.
On linux you need composite manager to make it working, I dont have
it and my attempts to make it working failed on first step with
installing proprietary ATI driver, which doesnt want to work with
actaul X.Org
My work is a bit slowed-down, because I have to prepare for my exams
on 10th June.
4th June
add debuging mode for testing transparency on windows
add teletext buttons
slow hidding enabled on non windows platforms, but working
only with composite manager and also turn on when transparency
debug is enabled
5th June
learning for exams
