Video

A video display allows the user to view digital video (.wmv) files. The video display area is only visible when a digital video file is playing or paused. When you design your skin, you will want to reserve space in the background image to contain the video display. If you don't, the video display may superimpose itself over any visible art, such as the background file, buttons, and trackbars, which will keep the user from operating the controls on your skin.

The video section of the skin definition file must begin with this line:

[ Video ]

You then must add a line that specifies the location and size of the video display area in your skin.

A typical line might be:

0,38,240,172

You can use the following template for the video section of your skin definition file:

// <Location>
// ----------
