KidAfrica - Re TheConstructII Windows media Skin - help please

from WinCustomize Forums
Hello there,

I have been looking for a suitable skin to use for a business presentation and your "TheContructII" fits the bill exactly, except for one thing.....it does not scale.

I need a player that can play 640*480 video is there anyway that "TheContructII" can be made larger or scalable

If anyone can help i would be very grateful.

is the video window size the only thing you have an issue with for the skin? and do you have to use that player?

try this option...if you are open to other options : http://www.irfanview.com/

for a business to use it, runs $10 I think, freeware for home use. should do what you want, i think, but not skinnable...as far as I know...

Thanks for that, what i am after is as follows:-

Mainly a video player than will play a 640*480 windows media files at full size, brightness, contrast etc, volume, good size normal video buttons(stop FWD Back Pause).

The most important is a close down player button that is about the same size as the play button(this is because i am using it on top of another program and i want to return to that program after windows media has shut down.

Is it possible to have the player fixed on the screen, so that it cannot be moved around by the mouse.

Thanks

I built something like that last year for a company. Is there any way I can talk to you in voice like on msn messenger so that we can make this a little faster instead of taken up space on this message board? Add me ---->[email protected] just need a few more details and then give me a day to build it.

Windows Media Player can have the video screen resized to the size of the movie. Except the skin has to be programmed accordingly and not all skinners know how. Most skins by The Skins Factory (https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?authorid=4517) are scalable as such. For example, try XxX (https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=9&SkinID=95), XBox (https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=9&SkinID=71), and The Unit (https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=9&SkinID=25).
