[MPlayerOSX-devel] Re: Application Icon and UI requests

[Dan C. <da...@us...>]

Hi,

Thanks for your very nice icon, but I'm sorry to say that I'm not in 
charge of neither MPlayer nor MPlayerOSX. (Actually, I'm surprised you 
send this to me.)

About the GUI, I didn't even contribute to it, but some of the issues 
you point out are not easily fixed. Currently, it is practically 
impossible to add buttons to the MPlayer window, or to remove one of 
the dock items, due to limitations in the way MPlayer displays the 
video on screen. It can be fixed, but it would be difficult and take a 
lot of work, so I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. Maybe I'll 
get it done, maybe someone else will, maybe nothing will be done; 
no-one knows.

I'm sending a copy of this message to the MPlayerOSX mailing list. 
Please send further replies to that list.

The icon is attached at the bottom of this mail (for the mailing list). 
It's pretty good, actually!

BTW, maybe this should be sent to the MPlayer core developers?

- Dan
