Putting player controls outside the slide area

By default, the player controls are overlaid on the slide for a more compact display. If you want to have them outside the slide area disable the PLAYER_CONTROLS_OVERLAY option in the skin configuration (see directly below).

Skin configuration

The skin is configured with a list of settings, titled as "variables", which can be set in different ways depending on the type.

skins_settings

You can configure the following types of options:

Check boxes:

These turn a feature on or off. For example, the player controls included in the display window can be activated or deactivated.

Colors:

Colors of the individual elements in the skin layout, based on the colors in your HelpXplain theme. Just click on the color shown to pick a different color.

Opacity:

These are sliders that control the opacity (transparency) of the chosen color or of a specific element in the skin.

Values:

These are numerical dimensions for various skin components. Just type in the values you want to use.

Texts:

Editable interface texts in the skin.

Custom Skins

If you are a developer you can also make your own custom skins. See Custom Skins in the Developers chapter for details.
