Yeah, this'd be my suggestion too: let Freevo invoke it's skin scaling stuff so that buttonbar forces everything to be scaled to (say) 90% of their original height and y-positions. That create a gap of around 50 pixels for the buttonbar. Another option would be for the buttonbar to be a semi-transparent overlay which only appears after some event, e.g. a timeout of inactivity or some explicit button press. > AFAICS the top margin is controlled when the idlebar is running and > poking around a bit but couldn't see how this was controlled. Hmm, no idea. You could probably bodge something in src/skins/main/screen.py? > BTW Took me ages to find out how a sub-menu could be added to an item > plug-in, as opposed to a main menu plug-in, but got there in the end. It'd be handy, I think, to document stuff like this in the wiki? Some of the skins documentation is very vague and already assumes you know what you're doing...
