Remote as Main Body skin?

[lukeprog]

The remote of the basic player is my favorite skin. Would it be very hard to create a new skin where the main body window is identical to the remote, and skins for playlist, etc. are all the same as the default QCD 4.5 skin? That's what I'd like to do but I really haven't looked into making skins too much yet.

I would just use the remote, but the main window pops up anyway when I load up QCD, even though I exited with it minimized. And, if I'm not going to the main player window, I don't know why it should be in memory.

I'd also like to change the annoying up and down volume buttons on the remote to a much more intuitive scrollwheel.

not very hard at all.

Okay, I'll have to study some skinning then.

How would I access the resources of the main QCD skin? It doesn't seem to be in the skins directory, and the remote isn't included in the "base skin" downloadable from the DevZone.

Actually the skin is in branding.dll (Seems that way anyway if you use a resouce editor). I dont know how the data is store though and just drawing the content to the screen wasn't helpfull! :evolved: You could do some screencaptures though and build it like that. Wouldn't be the worst way to try to do ones first skin IMO.

Screencapture every form and instance of every button? Ugh. Oh well.
