Internally map item 'potmeter' onto 'hpotmeter'. Former version of the GUI treated a potmeter very similar to a hpotmeter (the Win32 GUI still does so) and lots of skins are solely using potmeters instead of hpotmeters, although this doesn't make sense at all. The current version of the GUI is treating a potmeter differently, but in order to not break old skins, restore the old behaviour. For the X11/GTK GUI, a potmeter is now simply a hpotmeter with button=NULL and (button)width=(button)height=0. For the Win32 GUI (where skins unfortunately are handled a bit differently and things are more complicated) a potmeter is now a hpotmeter without button but (button)width=(widget)width and (button)height=(widget)height. Additionally, print a legacy information, because the item 'potmeter' is obsolete now and oughtn't be used any longer.

MPlayer Windows GUI (c)
2003 Sascha Sommer - <saschasommer@freenet.de>
2006 Erik Augustson - <erik_27can@yahoo.com>
2006 Gianluigi Tiesi - <sherpya@netfarm.it>

This beta GUI for Windows was originally written by Sascha Sommer and
has since been heavily modified by myself (Erik Augustson) and Gianluigi
Tiesi. It follows the same concept as the Linux GUI, and should be able
to load all (or at least most) of the current skins available for the
Linux GUI.

To compile, quite simply pass --enable-gui to configure, and it is highly
recommended to also pass --enable-static="-mwindows" to link mplayer as
a Windows binary. NOTE: This will also link mencoder with -mwindows
and thus link mencoder as a Windows binary as well.

To enable use of the GUI, mplayer.exe must be renamed / copied to
gmplayer.exe.
