   No skins for the gui version but as long as gtk+2 is available they can easily   
   be added.  However if I do use mplayer in xorg I just use the same commandline   
   as I do on the 'linux' terminal except with the '-vo xv' or '-vo x11' or ...   
   switch on an xterm commandline.  Also all this can be scripted out in bash to   
   make it more powerful of an app.  For example I have a bash script with a   
   'scan' line (<- requires ffmpeg) that determines the size of a fullscreen   
   output on the 'linux' terminal;   
      
      aspect_ratio=$(ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries   
   stream=display_aspect_ratio -of csv=s=x:p=0 $1)   
      if [ "$aspect_ratio" == "4:3" ]   
      then   
        Resolution=1440   
      else   
        Resolution=1920   
      fi   
      
   $1 in the above is the movie to be played.  The resolutions in this case needs   
   to be adjusted for whatever the maximum resolutions are for the machine's   
   display.  It works great for '-vo fbdev2' on the 'linux' terminal commandline   
   for a widescreen monitor.   
      
   As you've said; Touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will   
   play itself.  Yes indeed.   
      
   Life is good,
