Description

Major update V4 is out!
Attention Win XP Users:The skin requires the Consolas font (included in ms office and vista+) if you don't have it, get it here.

Huge Thanks to ~MartyMcFlysBlog for his continued work and dedication on his fork of the skin. Plenty of stuff he has come up with, many that I wouldn't likely have thought of on my own, has made its way into the skin.
Big thanks to ~entd4rk for bringing to my attention the repeat markers and the awesome fact that you can have a real protruding time cursor just like Youtube if you use Direct3D9 mode.

There's now Direct3D9 variants to go along with the silm (6 pixel seekbar) variants included in the skin.

-Fixed Bad Glitch where one could drag and overlap buttons.

The interface you all know and love, now in Potplayer!
Just put the .dsf in the Potplayer skins folder and voila.


So I really like the simplicity and compactness of the youtube UI and wanted it in my favorite desktop player.
Didn't think I'd succeed at first the .xml syntax is a tad intimidating but some persistence payed off and it couldn't have turned out any better.
Enjoy!

Special thanks to ~flydonkey,
I used his theSimpleThing skin as a starting point.
