joh6nn asks for your input

A letter from Joh6nn, the newest member of Coolplayers development team:
Hi All. I'm joh6nn, the newest member of Coolplayer's dev team.
There are currently a number of problems surrounding skinning Coolplayer. Probably the biggest one is that the UI for skinning the playlist is currently broken. A close second would be that Coolplayer has two completely different skinning systems: one for the player itself, and a separate one for the playlist. I'd like to fix as many of the skinning issues as possible, and unite the playlist and player systems if i can.
This is where you come in. I'm looking for feedback. I'd like to know.
• how put off you'd be about your skins breaking
• how put off you'd be about having to learn yet another skinning system?
• what do you or don't you like about the current skinning system for Coolplayer?
• which programs have skinning systems that you like, and what do you like about them?
• anything else you think i should know
Those of you who run community sites, if you could make a news post about this, that'd be extra nifty.
The feedback that i get will pretty much determine what changes i make, and how. You can get hold of me for questions and comments at [email protected], or at NotTilNextWeek@AIM
Thanks alot everyone, and Happy New Year

I'm sure the coolplayer skinners would just love you breaking their hard work and long hours.

I made very sure to keep backwards-compatability with older versions of DXPlayer. Even then, I had to change a few small things in how they worked, and people still complained about that - I hate to think what they'd have done if I just broke all their objects.
