Thread: Getting rid of play pause buttons with external apps.

External settings are...

<APPLICATION APPNAME="PS2">
<PATH>C:\Program Files\VideoMate\ComproDTV 2.5\ComproDTV.exe</PATH>
<PARAMETERS />
<WINDOWNAME>COMPRODTV</WINDOWNAME>
<PAUSEMUSIC>True</PAUSEMUSIC>
<LINECONTROL>LINEIN</LINECONTROL>
<STARTFULLSCREEN>True</STARTFULLSCREEN>
<GUIAPPLICATION>True</GUIAPPLICATION>
</APPLICATION>


Any ideas on how I can fix this?

edit the skin.xml file of the skin/skins you are using and look for th externalapp section... It has a fullx, fully, fullwidth, fullheight parameter... you can modify these to fill the whole screen...
