HOW-TO:Simplify the seekbar in Confluence

This tutorial will show how to simplify the seekbar. This is achieved by editing DialogSeekBar.xml. IMO you don't need all that info when e.g. pausing, I can use the Info screen I and OSD M for that. Also, knowing how much time's passed or how many chapters there are left can spoil the experience, as you with that info maybe can guess how it'll end.

Open the file DialogSeekBar.xml

A. Find this code and comment it out. This will remove the "chapter", the numbers and its border.

<control type="group">
	<visible>player.chaptercount + Window.IsVisible(FullScreenVideo)</visible>
	<left>705r</left>
	<top>-6</top>
	<include>VisibleFadeEffect</include>
		<control type="image">
			<left>0</left>
			<top>0</top>
			<width>150</width>
			<height>70</height>
			<colordiffuse>EEFFFFFF</colordiffuse>
			<texture border="12">OverlayDialogBackground.png</texture>
		</control>
		<control type="label" id="1">
			<description>Chapter Pos No</description>
			<left>20</left>
			<top>10</top>
			<width>110</width>
			<height>20</height>
			<align>center</align>
			<aligny>center</aligny>
			<font>font12_title</font>
			<textcolor>blue</textcolor>
			<label>$LOCALIZE[21396]</label>
			<visible>player.chaptercount</visible>
		</control>
		<control type="label" id="1">
			<description>Chapter Pos No</description>
			<left>20</left>
			<top>30</top>
			<width>110</width>
			<height>20</height>
			<align>center</align>
			<aligny>center</aligny>
			<font>font13_title</font>
			<textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
			<label>$INFO[player.chapter]$INFO[player.chaptercount, / ]</label>
			<visible>player.chaptercount</visible>
		</control>
</control>

B. Find this code and comment it out. This will remove the border around the seekbar and the time.

<control type="image">
	<left>0</left>
	<top>0</top>
	<width>370</width>
	<height>70</height>
	<colordiffuse>EEFFFFFF</colordiffuse>
	<texture border="12">OverlayDialogBackground.png</texture>
</control>

C. Find this code and comment it out. This will remove elapsed, seek time, progressbar for the cache, progressbar and seek slider.

<control type="label">
	<description>Elapsed Time Label</description>
	<left>20</left>
	<top>23</top>
	<width>240</width>
	<height>20</height>
	<font>font13_title</font>
	<textcolor>white</textcolor>
	<align>left</align>
	<aligny>center</aligny>
	<label>$INFO[Player.Time] - $INFO[Player.Duration]</label>
	<visible>!Player.Seeking</visible>
</control>
<control type="label">
	<description>Seek Time Label</description>
	<left>20</left>
	<top>23</top>
	<width>240</width>
	<height>20</height>
	<font>font13_title</font>
	<textcolor>white</textcolor>
	<align>left</align>
	<aligny>center</aligny>
	<label>$INFO[Player.SeekTime] - $INFO[Player.Duration]</label>
	<visible>Player.Seeking</visible>
</control>
<control type="progress">
	<description>ProgressbarCache</description>
	<left>20</left>
	<top>45</top>
	<width>240</width>
	<height>15</height>
	<info>Player.ProgressCache</info>
	<midtexture border="6,0,6,0">OSDProgressMidLight.png</midtexture>
	<visible>true</visible>
</control>
<control type="progress" id="23">
	<description>Progressbar</description>
	<left>20</left>
	<top>45</top>
	<width>240</width>
	<height>15</height>
	<info>Player.Progress</info>
	<visible>true</visible>
</control>
<control type="slider" id="401">
	<description>Seek Slider</description>
	<left>20</left>
	<top>42</top>
	<width>240</width>
	<height>12</height>
	<texturesliderbar>seekslider.png</texturesliderbar>
	<textureslidernib>osd_slider_nib.png</textureslidernib>
	<textureslidernibfocus>osd_slider_nib.png</textureslidernibfocus>
	<visible>Player.Seeking</visible>
</control>

D. Search the file for <description>Seekbar Label</description>
Change:
<left>20</left> to <left>280</left>
<top>7</top> to <top>60</top> This will move "Paused, Playing, Seeking X min/s" below the play/pause button.
