For a user who does not speak English, a video player without support for subtitles, is not a player.
Thanks!

I've googled this but have yet to find an answer. I even checked Dragonplayer's help menu. Is there a keyboard shortcut or something to get rid of this? I could use other video players but like Dragon the best.

I've just made a small patch against dragonplayer (KDE 4.6.0) that adds crop to window functionality, fell free to include it into main project if you like it!

It would be better, if video won't resize when we touch the sliders (Track or volume). It's annoying.
and one bug (may be already resolved in new version)- player crashes if you keep pressing full screen key "F" for couple of seconds.

under dragon, it skips a bit forward or backward.
is there some way to configure the slider track to work as it did in codeine? it is one of the main features I use in a media player.
thanks

the arrow keys on the keyboard should jump you forward and back. it is actually much easier to use them for that purpose. (no mouse aiming)
and since there is a simple and effective way to skip, I think the slider should be used for click to location. Dragging the slider is much more of a pain, and there is no other way to aim for a specific point in the timeline, it just makes more sense to me for click to location.
I imagine that this is counter to the design of dragon (keeping it very simple) but perhaps an option for the slider?

other than that I have only 2 features that drive me to a player:
1 - the slider behavior I mentioned (jump to click location, not jump ahead/back)
2 - open new videos in new windows (allowing multiple videos playing at the same time)
so cast my vote for that behavior!
thanks

Just use fullscreen mode if you want to fully watch the movie, otherwise honestly the toolbar and such isn't taking up too many pixels.

About the suggested option to hide some interface elements, this is my take.
1) Toolbar and Status Bar = YES
2) #1 and Windows Decorations = NO NO
Removing decorations will bring confusion and probably will break some interface style guides along the way.
About the toolbar and status bar, first people the player is already very compact. We can gain some space, but we are not talking about Windows Media regular/compact difference here.
I suggest an option to implement the bar hiding that will not need any additional interface (visible) option.
1) Add a key binding to toggle the bars. Something like CTRL + T
2) Only when the toolbars are hidden, show a message in the title bar with a brief instruction on how to turn them on.
Windows Title Example:
Dragon Player (CTRL + T for Toolbar)

All "we" want is to have a video playing in some corner without losing screen estate.
There should be no difficulties whatsoever. In the worst case a click in the window could either open a menu with the option to leave minimal mode, or even more extrem leave the minimal mode right away.

Any additional feature that is added to Dragon Player has to either require no additional default buttons or options (like I'm thinking of showing some metadata when playing an audio file) or is one that is required to have access to a movie (external subtitle file support).

Kaffeine may become a possible replacement, but as of now there is no KDE4 version and Kaffeine is still much bigger than Dragon.
