<h2><a name="intro">1 Introduction</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this document is to describe the MPlayer skin format.
|
|
The information contained here might be wrong, for <em>a)</em> it is not me
|
|
who wrote the GUI, <em>b)</em> the GUI is not finished, <em>c)</em> I might
|
|
be wrong. So do not be surprised if something does not work as described here.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Thanks to <em>Zoltán Ponekker</em> for his help.

|

|
<h2><a name="overview">2 Overview</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
It does not really have anything to do with the skin format, but you should
|
|
know that <em>MPlayer has <b>no</b> builtin skin, so <b>at least one skin
|
|
must be installed in order to be able to use the GUI.</b></em>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="dirs">2.1 Directories</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
The directories searched for skins are (in order):
|
|
<pre>
|
|
/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/
|
|
~/.mplayer/Skin/
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that the first path may vary according to the way MPlayer was configured
|
|
(see the <code>--datadir</code> argument of the <code>configure</code>
|
|
script).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Every skin is installed into its own directory under one of the directories
|
|
listed above, for example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="images">2.2 Image formats</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
Images must be truecolor (24 or 32 bpp) and can be in
|
|
BMP, PNG and TGA format (note that TGA images must be uncompressed).
|
|
<em>The preferred format is PNG as it compresses very well.</em>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the main window (see below) you can use images with `transparency':
|
|
regions filled with the color #FF00FF (<font color="#FF00FF">magenta</font>)
|
|
are fully transparent when viewed by MPlayer. This means that you can even
|
|
have shaped windows if your X server has the XShape extension.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="parts">2.3 Parts of a skin</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
Skins are quite free-format (unlike the fixed-format skins of
|
|
Winamp/XMMS, for example), so it is up to you to create something great.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Currently there are three windows to be decorated: the
|
|
<a href="#mainwin">main window</a>, the <a href="#subwindow">subwindow</a> and
|
|
the <a href="#skinmenu">skin menu</a> (which can be activated by a right
|
|
click).
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <b>main window</b> is where you can control MPlayer. The background of
|
|
the window is an image. Various items can (and must) be
|
|
placed in the window: <em>buttons</em>, <em>potmeters</em> (sliders, if
|
|
you like it better) and <em>labels</em>. For every item, you must
|
|
specify its position and size.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A <b>button</b> has three states (pressed, released,
|
|
disabled), so its image must be divided into three parts vertically.
|
|
See the <a href="#main.button">button</a> item for details.
|
|
<p>
|
|
A <b>potmeter</b> (mainly used for the seek bar and volume/balance
|
|
control) can have any number of phases by dividing its image into different
|
|
parts below each other.
|
|
See <a href="#main.hpotmeter">hpotmeter</a> and
|
|
<a href="#main.potmeter">potmeter</a> for details.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Labels</b> are a bit special: the characters needed to draw them are taken
|
|
from an image file, and the characters in the image are described
|
|
by a <a href="#fonts">font description file</a>.
|
|
The latter is a plain text file which specifies
|
|
the x,y position and size of each character in the image. (So the
|
|
image file and its font description file form a font <em>together</em>.)
|
|
See <a href="#main.dlabel">dlabel</a> and <a href="#main.slabel">slabel</a>
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em class=note>
|
|
<b>Note:</b> all images can have full transparency as described in the
|
|
section about <a href="#images">image formats</a>.
|
|
</em>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <b>subwindow</b> is where the movie appears. It can display a specified
|
|
image if there is no movie loaded (it is quite boring to have an empty
|
|
window :-))
|
|
<em class=note><b>Note:</b> transparency
|
|
is <b>not allowed</b> here.</em>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <b>skin menu</b> is just a way to control MPlayer by means of
|
|
menu entries. Two images are required for the menu: one of them is the base
|
|
image that shows the menu in its normal state, the other one is used to
|
|
display the selected entries. When you pop up the menu, the first image is
|
|
shown. If you move the mouse over the menu entries, the currently selected
|
|
entry is copied from the second image over the menu entry below the mouse
|
|
pointer. (So the second image is never shown in whole.)
|
|
<p>
|
|
A menu entry is defined by its position and size in the image (see the
|
|
section about the <a href="#skinmenu">skin menu</a> for details).
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is an important thing not mentioned yet: for buttons, potmeters and
|
|
menu entries to work, MPlayer must know what to do if they are clicked.
|
|
This is done by <a href="#guimsg">messages</a> (events). For these items
|
|
you must define the messages to be genereated when they are clicked.
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="files">2.4 Files</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
You need the following files to build a skin.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The configuration file named <a href="#skin">skin</a> tells MPlayer how
|
|
to put different parts of the skin together and what to do if you click
|
|
somewhere in the window.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The background image for the main window.</li>
|
|
<li>Images for the items in the main window (including one or more font
|
|
description files needed to draw labels).</li>
|
|
<li>The image to be displayed in the subwindow (optional).</li>
|
|
<li>Two images for the skin menu (they are needed only if you want to create
|
|
a menu).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
With the exception of the skin configuration file, you can name the other
|
|
files whatever you want (but note that font description files must have
|
|
.fnt extension).
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="skin">3 The <code><b>skin</b></code> file</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As mentioned above, this is the skin configuration file.
|
|
It is line oriented; comment lines start with a '<code>;</code>' character
|
|
at the beginning of the line (only spaces and tabs are allowed before the
|
|
'<code>;</code>').
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The file is made up of sections. Each section describes the skin for an
|
|
application and has the following form:
|
|
<table border=1 width="100%"><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
|
section = <i>section name</i>
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
end
|
|
</pre></td></tr></table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Currently there is only one application, so you need only one section:
|
|
its name is <b>movieplayer</b>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Within this section each window is described by a block in the following form:
|
|
<table border=1 width="100%"><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
|
window = <i>window name</i>
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
end
|
|
</pre></tr></td></table>
|
|
where <i>window name</i> can be one of these strings:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>main</b> - for the main window</li>
|
|
<li><b>sub</b> - for the subwindow</li>
|
|
<li><b>menu</b> - for the skin menu</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
(The sub and menu block is optional---you do not need to create a menu or
|
|
to decorate the subwindow.)
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Within a window block, you can define each item for the window
|
|
by a line in this form:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
item = parameter
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
where <i>item</i> is a string that identifies the type of the GUI item,
|
|
<i>parameter</i> is a numeric or textual value (or a list of values
|
|
separated by commas).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Putting the above together, the whole file looks something like this:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<table border=1 width="100%"><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
|
section = movieplayer
|
|
window = main
|
|
; ... items for main window ...
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
window = sub
|
|
; ... items for subwindow ...
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
window = menu
|
|
; ... items for skin menu ...
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
</pre></tr></td></table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally some words about specifying images for the various items.
|
|
<br>
|
|
The name of an image file must be given without leading directories---
|
|
images are searched in the directory of the skins. You may (but you need not)
|
|
specify the file's extension. If the file doesn't exist, MPlayer tries to
|
|
load the file <i><filename>.<ext></i>, where <i>tga</i>,
|
|
<i>TGA</i>, <i>bmp</i>, <i>BMP</i>, <i>png</i> and <i>PNG</i> is tried
|
|
for <i><ext></i> (in this order). The first matching file will be used.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<table border=1 cellpadding=5 width="100%"><tr bgcolor="#ffffcc"><td>
|
|
Here is an example to make this clear. Suppose that you have an image called
|
|
<i>main.png</i> that you use for the main window:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
base = main, -1, -1
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
MPlayer tries to load <i>main</i>, <i>main.tga</i>, <i>main.TGA</i>,
|
|
<i>main.bmp</i> etc, so <i>main.png</i> will be found.
|
|
<br>
|
|
If (by accident) you wrote
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
base = main.bmp, -1, -1
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
then <i>main.bmp</i>, <i>main.bmp.tga</i>, <i>main.bmp.TGA</i>,
|
|
<i>main.bmp.bmp</i> would be searched and MPlayer would finally give up
|
|
because there is no <i>main.bmp</i> in the directory, but <i>main.png</i>.
|
|
</td></tr></table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="mainwin">3.1 Main window</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
Below you can see the list of items that can be used in the
|
|
'<code>window = main</code>' . . . '<code>end</code>' block.
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><a name="main.base">
|

<dd>
|
|
Lets you specify the background image to be used for the main window.
|
|
The window will appear at the given <i>x</i>,<i>y</i> position
|
|
on the screen (0,0 is the top left corner). You can specify -1 for center
|
|
and -2 for right (x) and bottom (y). The window will be as large as the image.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em class=warn>
|
|
<b>Warning:</b> transparent regions in the image (colored #FF00FF) appear
|
|
black on X servers without the XShape extension.

the button is clicked.
|
|
The image given by <i>image</i> must have three parts below each other

|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Place a horizontal potmeter of <i>w</i> * <i>h</i> size at the
|
|
<i>x</i>,<i>y</i> position. The image can be divided into
|
|
different parts for the different phases of the potmeter (for example,
|
|
you can have a pot for volume control that turns from green to red
|
|
while its value changes from the minimum to the maximum.)
|
|
hpotmeter can have a button that can be dragged horizontally.
|
|
The parameters are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><i>butt</i> - the image to be used for the button
|
|
(must have three parts below each other, like in case of
|
|
<a href="#main.button">button</a>)</li>
|
|
<li><i>bw</i>, <i>bh</i> - size of the button</li>
|
|
<li><i>phases</i> - The image to be used for the different phases of the
|
|
hpotmeter. The image must be divided into <i>numphases</i> parts vertically
|
|
(see below). A special value of <kbd>NULL</kbd> can be used if you want
|
|
no such image.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><i>numphases</i> - number of phases stored in the <i>phases</i>
|
|
image</li>
|
|
<li><i>default</i> - default value for hpotmeter (in the range 0 to
|
|
100)</li>
|
|
<li><i>x</i>, <i>y</i> - position for the hpotmeter</li>
|
|
<li><i>w</i>, <i>h</i> - width and height of the hpotmeter</li>
|
|
<li><i>msg</i> - the message to be generated when the value of hpotmeter
|
|
is changed</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

For the description of the parameters see

<i>fontid</i> is used to refer to the font

Place a dynamic label at the <i>x</i>,<i>y</i> position. The label is called
|
|
dynamic because its text is refreshed periodically.
|
|
The maximum length of the label is given by <i>length</i> (its height is the

height of a character).
|
|
If the text to be displayed is wider than that, then it will be
|
|
scrolled, otherwise it is aligned within the specified space by the value
|
|
of the <i>align</i> parameter: 0 is for right, 1 is for center,
|
|
2 is for left.
|
|
<br>
|
|
The text to be displayed is given by <i>text</i>: it must be written between
|
|
double quotes (<code>"</code>) (but the <code>"</code> cannot be part of the
|
|
text). The label is displayed using the font identified by <i>fontid</i>.

You can use the following variables in the text.

The image to be displayed in the window.
|
|
The window will appear at the given <i>x</i>,<i>y</i> position
|
|
on the screen (0,0 is the top left corner). You can specify -1 for center
|
|
and -2 for right (x) and bottom (y). The window will be as large as the image.
|
|
<i>width</i> and <i>height</i> gives the size of the window; they are

<h3><a name="skinmenu">3.3 Skin menu</a></h3>

Normal menu entries are taken from the image specified by the <i>base</i>
|
|
item, while the currently selected entry is taken from the image specified
|
|
by the <i>selected</i> item.
|
|
You must define the position and size of each menu entry by the <i>menu</i>
|
|
item.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
These are the items that can be used in the '<code>window = menu</code>'

<h2><a name="fonts">4 Fonts</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
As mentioned in the section about the parts of a skin, a font is defined
|
|
by an image and a description
|
|
file. You can place the characters anywhere in the image, but make sure that
|
|
their position and size is given in the description file exactly.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The font description file (with .fnt extension) can have comment
|
|
lines starting with '<code>;</code>'.
|
|
The file must have a line in the form
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
image = <i>image</i>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
where <i>image</i> is the name of the image file to be used for
|
|
the font (you do not have to specify the extension).
|
|
The above line is followed by character definition lines of the form:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
"<i>char</i>" = <i>x, y, w, h</i>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> specifies the position of the
|
|
<i>char</i> character in the image (0,0 is the upper left corner).
|
|
<i>w</i> and <i>h</i> is the width and height of the character
|
|
(in pixels, of course).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here is an example that defines the A, B, C characters using font.png.
|
|
<table width="100%" border=1><tr bgcolor=silver><td><pre>
|
|
; can be "font" instead of "font.png"
|
|
image = font.png
|
|
|
|
; Three characters are enough for demonstration only. :-)
|
|
"A" = 0,0, 7,13
|
|
"B" = 7,0, 7,13
|
|
"C" = 14,0, 7,13
|
|
</pre></td></tr></table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="symbols">4.1 Symbols</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
Some characters have special meanings when returned by some of the variables
|
|
used in
|
|
<a href="#main.dlabel">dlabel</a>; these characters are meant to be
|
|
displayed as symbols. (For example, in case of a DVD stream, you could display
|
|
a nice DVD logo instead of the character 'd'.)
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following table lists all the characters that can be used to display
|
|
symbols (and thus require a different font).
|
|
