A few questions ...

01)
Will we be obliged to skin the menu ? Some skinners could want to have a "Windows context menu" (grey if you don't change the Windows colours), like there is in Winamp 2.x.

02)
What is the "contextmenu" for ? ...when we have the menu... I dunno, just asking.

03)
Is it possible to have an animated seekbar button ? If yes, could someone help me with the script ?
I have a rectangular seekbar, like the default skin and a rectangular seekbar button too. The seekbar button represents a little plane (w="29" h="11") and when I click on it, the ghost button is displayed. That is OK. But when the seekbar button slides to the right (when an audio file is playing), I would like the little plane to show some flames going out of the reactors of the plane. See what I mean ? Don't worry, this is quite easy to do graphically (the button is very small too), but I don't know how to load the animation instead of a static button.

04)
Does someone have got the script to use a balance bar ? Lucas, mmm (Epsilux) ?

05)
Does anyone still have a language pack witch contains rude and cuss words ? It was given in the first alpha versions, but not anymore.
I know this question has nothing with skinning/scripting.

1) You don't have to skin the context menu, you can link to the one from default skin.
2) Uh, is that a question?
3) Any screenshot so that I can understand?
4) Nope.
5) I don't know.

Cheers,

so.. it's a kind of slider but a bit rounded as you can see.
I think I need an animation, don't I ?

And another question, how do you do to change the colour if the icons included in the thinger ? As a normal, they are green, but i need them to be blue. I saw boxor and lounge, but i don't know how you (skinners of these skins) did.

I think it's inside the gamma-presets.xml, where the groups refer to the tag inside *-elements.xml
