So let's see...you want a toggle to switch off specific items from the top line of the OSD when paused/rewinding/fast forwarding or using the OSD controls. Those parts being any reference to time labels and the progress bar which would just leave whichever OSD control you were using's feedback label in place.

Yeah I suppose I can do that,

Hope you're doing well. Thanks again for all the recent updates...all really useful and/or good-looking

Just wanted to bring up an old request of mine that, for me and others like me, would be an amazing feature and one, I'm pretty sure, that would be totally unique to BackRow:

----An option to have an XBMC experience with no reference whatsoever to either the actual time or the time remaining in a video.------

In other words, if I press pause, fast forward or rewind there would simply be a confirmation that the relevant button has been pressed. There would be no mention anywhere of "current time", "finish time" or even a progress bar.

The reasons why this would be awesome IMO are;

1. ) I like to lose myself in a movie like I would in the cinema. In other words I like to keep pausing/ rewinding to an absolute minimum, but when I do need to do so it breaks the experience for me if I am reminded of the time in the real world and/or how much of the movie is left.

2.) I often play recorded sporting events on my XBMC. For these videos, knowing how much time is left in the file can often provide a concrete spoiler of the result (rounds in boxing, sets in tennis, is there extra time in football etc.)

If it were possible to have this feature as a skin option titled something like "time-free mode" or "total escapism mode" i think it would be super cool.

Thanks!

One small tweak request if you agree....at the moment for any "step forward" or "step back" commands, the only OSD text is "PLAYING".

What do you think about implementing the corresponding text for the following commands:

StepForward
StepBack
BigStepForward
BigStepBack
SmallStepBack

Thanks again man - this option is a major game-changer for me. I can't think of a single other skin, or even media player which has this simple feature available. My brother was very excited when I told him about it...this feature alone may bring him back to XBMC after he left long ago in favour of some boring out of the box hardware media centre
