Behavior of Controls in fullscreen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think a better disappearing controls in fullscreen would be good. Because
right now, when it slides away, it has a strange effect on video played. I
think controls on top of video and their simple disappearance on timeout
would be nice, so video never gets distorted. Or maybe an option to not
display controls in fullscreen, anything that avoids the strange effect,
really.

I Agree. There should be an option to turn off animation on controls 
disapperance.
When video is the same aspect ratio as screen, it causes mplayer to rescale 
playing
video due to continuously enlarging space used by mplayer process. And it is 
really
painful on the machine as slowly as mine.

Yes, it slows down the frame rate, but more than that, it warps the output on 
some
output modes, like vdpau, with green, blocky artifacts and shaking.

There already is an option...

open gconf-editor if you have gconf enabled and set disable_animation to true, 
if you
don't have gconf enabled open ~/.config/gnome-mplayer/gnome-mplayer.conf and 
add this
line

disable_animation=1

You can also disable the hiding of the controls by setting (same thing in gconf)

auto_hide_timeout=0

~/.config/gnome-mplayer/gnome-mplayer.conf ?

I tried creating it as such, but I'm afraid it doesn't work.
And no, I don't have gconf-editor. It seems to be gone in some newer distros.

Sorry, it is hard to tell without gconf schemas. There should be something about
options doesn't provided by GUI in README file. Anyway thanks!

These options have been discussed on the mailing list and in the bug tracker 
several
times. Simple google search should have found them.

Editing them in gnome-mplayer.conf only works if you are not using gconf.

gconf-editor is still provided by modern distros. For fedora 11 it is in the rpm
gconf-editor-2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64

Heh, You misunderstood me. I added this option already, but in arch everything 
is
compiled as lightweight as possible. Becouse of that gnome-mplayer is compiled 
with
"--without-gconf" flag, shipped without gconf schemas.
Maybe Arch is not modern distro, but it is so KISS and I love it for that. ;)
Anyway You are right. I should google for it first, but still I think this is a 
good
idea to add such information to the README (just for fellows like me).

PS. This is my favourite player. Good job! Thank You for your time.
