[vlc] version 1.0.1 GUI

[Konstantin]

Hi,

I have been using VLC player for a long time. It is a good thing, and has many useful features. Today I have downloaded and installed a new version 1.0.2. 

I must say, that in terms of GUI, it is in worse state than the previous version, and I had to uninstall it and revert to my previous install. In the new version I missed many things. In particular, while playing DVD:

* in full screen mode there is no way to get to any controls without leaving the full screen. I was not able to change the volume, for example, or move the position forward or backward. There is only a popup menu.

* in previous version I was able to change the volume while in the full screen mode using a mouse wheel. Not anymore in this version. Mouse wheel does not work in window as well.

* The "strip" volume control in a window is now placed on top. It is not completely functional, and behaves erratically. To reproduce, open a DVD disk, and then try to change the volume moving the mouse over the control. The old volume control was good enough. At least there could be a way to get the "classic" interface.

* I switched to an altrernative skin provided in the 1.0.2 download. In that skin, the desktop window outside the VLC window is not being refreshed, and there appeared no way to switch back. (Switching to the "default" skin had no effect.)

I am on Windows XP, if that matters.

Thank you for the great work. But please please please do not break what has already been working.


Regards,
Konstantin.
