Change colors/update the player preloader?

4 replies [Last post]

Is it possible to change the appearance (colors or otherwise) of the bar preloader that appears when the player is loading?

I'm thinking "no" as there aren't any files for that in the default skin, but just wanted to check before I give up.

I know the video preloader (circular) can be changed using a PNG, but I'm wondering about horizontal bar preloader that you see when the player is first loading.

Thanks!

The candybar is part of the flashplayer itself that is loaded before the skin is loaded, so this cannot be controlled/skinned.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

Please consider this a feature request.

Perhaps that preloader could be much simpler, like the video player progress bar (a single horizontal line). That way there is less chance of the design being undesirable.

Would also be nice if the colors of that preloader could be changed through FlashVars so no part of the player experience is untouchable.

Thanks!

This is not something we're going to add, this will simply add in too many complications for too little benefit.

I appreciate your directness.

I realize you'll shape the player to meet the needs of your customers and this is just one vote on a small detail. Maybe over time others will express the desire for similar adjustments and the balance will shift.

Overall I think you have a fantastic product going here — and I appreciate your quick responses — so thanks!
