The current time while watching videos?

Hey Guino.

First off, im using the lsx void skin. I know i could put a clock anywhere i wanted in the skin, I was just wondering if it was possible to have the clock as a drop down. kinda like the green lettered "Full" when you go into full screen. Just wondering if on the other corner if there could be a clock? so if while i was waiting for someone and watching videos I could just click the screen to see the time instead of having to exit out and back in. Just a thought. Thanks.

you can place a clock on the skin, I mean the controls that hide, that way when you click on the video once and the controls show up, you'll see the time. the BMV2 skin has it that way. The Green text on the top-left is to display the display ratio only.

open video_player.skin and add this to the last line, but before the END tag

Code:

L,680,83,103,23,0,0,0,14,"Arial:B","TIME","CENTER"

I think what he is after is something I would like too - but think its more complex (Guino - correct me on this but has to do with "layering") So take a video window, IG, whatever may be embedded and in his case and have rather than in the skin the MENU load as an "overlay" on top of the playing video or embedded app....

Guino - I had meant to ask for this once before but is this too much of a DX nightmare or is this possible to code.... Where a param could be issued to a MENU; aka popup command so it could be the TOP layer?

Just curious and would be rather nice...
