this is being caused by the fact that the video browser screen is being launched from the popup menu, not from in the video player screen. in the next release i will change the skin so that the browser is launched from the player instead of the popup. thanks for bringing that to my attention, i hadn't even noticed it

@monkeyracer
do you think there would be a way to embed a normal font choice window from another program? i really want to be able to change the fonts now, the list would probably do it, but it would be kinda hard to pick the right font.

theoretically, if you have the window class and title, then it would embed as any other application, but how would you get the info from that application into the skin?

here try this script, i made it some time ago to test fonts installation,will open all fonts installed in your system just like if you double click in the font file, just get creative to implement it to Road Runner. i think is possible.

replace the .txt with .au3 then compile it.

im not sure, im going to look into it more tomorrow, but i have to be at work at 7am, so im going to bed now, so far tonight i got the video browser fixed (disabled the button on the popup, and made one on the player) and started the font changer, if all goes well, that will be done tomorrow.

with some colors the buttons do lack a little depth, any ideas of how to make them more 3d, but still use labels so i can change the colors? also, in your screenshot, did you change the fronts for the labels? in my shots they are the Tranjan Pro font, that may be the issue.

Could you post that Trojan Pro font, please.

ford is a strange company, some of their products kick @$5 (mustang, f series trucks, etc.) and some suck @$5 (the rest of their vehicles) and then they have Jag's and mazdas which are good. They're definitely getting better in terms of quality but they still have a ways to go.

Back to topic:
Have you made any ground on the font chooser yet? I've been working longer hours at work (retail, holiday season, sucks) so I haven't had much computer time to try some stuff with it.

nope, i think it'll need an embedded app that the font info can be read from in order for it to work. if you look at a normal skin, the font section of a label is just the font name (ex: Arial Black) but when i have a variable set by browsing a dir list, it shows the filename (ex: ariblk.TTF) i think this is why i haven't been able to get it to work.

i did however add an exit button (push to hold on minimize), and added a ford logo, and optimized the coverflow skin a bit (much faster now ) i will be uploading the new file in a few min.
