I was thinking of placing it onto the menubar, something like this:

Just a quick tryout, eventually I could also give it an overlay image so you'd get something like this:

(for some reason can't make it to show up in this post)

When playing fullscreen video, it would be adjusted a bit.

Any thoughts?

No worries Smile It actually gave me the idea of displaying a message upon first use of Focus, explaining this and possibly some other things.

very nice volume sliders Smile

Other thing i think its very usefull is to display current hour and finish time of a movie when pressing info in fullscreen (da vinci skin has it and i love it) so you dont have to go to home menu if you want to know the time.

package updated, some bugs squashed, probably created some new ones, see topic start post for details. See changelog for known issues and updates.

I strongly advice you to not overwrite the previous release, but delete the old first or install in a different directory.
