Unfortunately the using the gui is not too logical yet...

first, you have to figure out, that you need a skin for that (it would be
much more obvious to include a simple default skin for that..)

secondly, if someon grabs a skin, he have to find out, where should it be
placed (not the "Skin" directory itself, but a subdirectory in it..)

and at last, he have to figure out, that the name of the skin (which is
the name of the directory mentioned above) should be specified either in
the commandline, either in the conf file.



mostly respectable developers, would it be so hard to make a very simple
default skin which is placed upon the installation to the Skin directory
and if the "-gui" option specified without any skins the mplayer would use
the defaul one? and only those, who needs any other skins should find out
where to place it, and how to call them?


Thanx:
