Hi, i'm new in this forum and i'm new to create a new skin.
My problem is this: i want to add a new video window to a normal skin that will contain 2 section, one for the video and one with other buttons.
I created a new xml file with the groupdef tag, but i don't understand how to set the window for the video.
I read the skinning tutorial webpage (http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/Creating_Modern_Skins) but it is not very clear.

where I can find better information about the properties of the tag?

Thanks.

Hi

Create a new container with a new layout and fill it with you buttons and other stuff you want.
Then add a togglebutton to the main window to show/hide this new container.

If you want to synchronize automatically your container with the video window, you need to code a maki file which hides and shows your container when the video window hides and shows.
