And as you can see in the video when you change page the background will continue play without rollback and restart again.

oh I thought you made it work like a background..
I think it has nothing to do with Elite Lite , It's a rr thing which I don't know if its possible at the moment
Maybe post a feature request , It would be pretty cool to have that feature

@itwanabe -
I completely agree , We could have this skin out and running by now

If this skin would ever get released i would give RR another go.

in really i'm trying a way to not use any front-end, i've kinda abbandoned both RR and Centralfuse (expecially centralfuse with last relase..]

OT: the system i'm using is try to edit the desktop as a front-end for now work navigation full scren (igo], audio i'm chosing somethng fullscreen and can be controlled with a gadget (winamp is good quality and can be controlled with gadgets but isnt fullscreen, with fullscreen i mean no minimize,exit icons and border], radio will be hard (i think to use silabs] and also obdII and phone control with a nice guy wll be hard...i will try to make something good if i will success i will relase some screens [end OT]

to the member who posted the SWEET video of a video background, can you post a detailed how to video! That rocks and I would really like to try it out.

@Diavoletto

Good luck
If you'll have something that is near FE look it will be interesting
But I guess it won't be an eye candy which is what I'm looking for right now in my car-pc quest

@cnewman402
What he's done is nothing special , he just added a flash object in the skin with the video ( after he converted it from mp4 / youtube to swf ) which covers the whole skin area
It's not performing very well
I talked with Mitchjs and its seems its not resolvable atm because flash is not supported very well in vb6

Here are the main issues ( from my conversation with mitchjs on msn ) :
1.the movie doesn't loop
2.when going through the different screens it loads the movie each time from the start on each screen ( and it seems to continue also playing at the other screens )
3.it seems only labels are working on top of the flash movie - but it's wierd , they are making the buttons behind them work as they should
so if i scale the label to the whole button size - it makes the button shown and functioning

As of now , It's seems the only way to incorporate this is major coding skills and a lot of time if wanted to make in vb6 ( if thats even possible )
Or - re-writing rr in vb.net ( which has significantly better built-in support for flash )

Wow, I have to say, when I saw this, it automatically made me want to switch from CF to RR. Can't wait to see the release!

are you still working on this or have you abandoned it?

I assume it's abandoned... Great theme none the less.

It has not been abandoned. There were some code changes made to RR which broke the skin. I haven't time to fix it and continue it. Something will be release really soon or at least an updated version of Elite Lite.
