Makes perfect sense. And I agree with the 16:9 skins. Which I'm
working on. :D

We will have support for mng, other animated stuff could be possible,
too.

Could I get support for using animated GIFs or MPEG loops in the
backgrounds in 2.0, please? I've got a great idea for my current 16:9
skin "LavaLamp" which I don't think will work in the 1.x.x series. I'm
thinking of animating the Lava Lamp itself. Of course, allowing for

Gorka, could you please post your freevo.conf? This is where the
difference exists. If you use the default Freevo settings of 800x600,
you _should_ hve noticeable image stretching.

Merci, Jean-Michel. Finally someone is seeing this from my
perspective.
I have a few small final adjustments and I'll be uploading "LavaLamp",
my second 16:9 skin. My first skin is still needing some adjustments

Michael, maybe it's just me, but I read a lot of unproductive criticism in

Adam, your closing line is exactly what I meant! Interesting that you
would snip off my previous post at that very point!!
Ok, so maybe _for_you_ designing skins by a hard-coding positions is
easier. I would find it much easier, and more elegant, to build skins
by using percentages mainly becaus

Wow, seems I started a fire storm by mentioning a redo of the Panorama
skin.
I've got another skin I'm working on as well. It's called LavaLamp
and, although dark, has a very striking feel to it. I'll also be
releasing this one and several others in the 1440x900 format in the
upcoming weeks.

Hi,
Cool... Perhaps we should talk more about what we have/want, as I was
thinking something very similar too this a few days ago. I was planning
a crossover between the default skin and the info skin. The default
skin is nice, but now, with the wide/large screens, there´s so much
room
In light of all this discussion of the 'panoramic' skin and whatnot,
I figured I'd put in my two cents about what I've been doing.
I started using freevo several months ago and was unsatisfied with
the bundled skins. I primarily use freevo for watching movies, so I
