A nicer GUI doesn`t remove the options, the buttons and menus are still the same as they were in the Classic GUI (and no, i don`t want t replace the Classic GUI, just offer an alternative one) , at least in my view the right click menu and options should stay the same. Stripping down functions from MPC would be a blasfemy.

Anyway, i`ll do a 4th mock-up with redesigned buttons (i have some spare time tonight) and a different color for them (maybe a grey gradiant as the Classic GUI has now) + a new speaker icon (something like this ), as indicated by Mercury_22, and leave it as it is, when and if the developers decide to offer alternative skins, i`ll develop the design left here on the thread.

And speaking of the OSD, is it possible to add an option for displaying the progress of the movie (time passed/remaining) in the OSD when Play/Pause is pressed ? It does so when using ff/rw. Or at least to display the progress bar.
