2015-08-19 removed windows

these dialog windows can be removed from your skin as they won't be used anymore:

• MusicOverlay.xml
  
• VideoOverlay.xml
  

if your skin needs such a dialog, you can create a custom skin window and use Player.HasAudio / HasVideo as a visible condition for them.

this change means you can also remove the <allowoverlay> tag from any window that has it.
