DESCRIPTION
-----------

This face is a port of the default Sonique skin, an old
state-of-the-art media player. Unfortunately, it did not
survive to the modern world. The story of Sonique is
important for XMPlay, as its visualization engine was
immplemented thinking in the SVP files. But that is
another story.

The intentions of immplementing this face were part of our
"Design Museum" intiative, in where skins from other media
players are adapted into XMPlay keping in mind to make it
without any major modifications and adapting to the
limitations of the XMPlay Skinning Engine.

This face was made using the "Bahamondes & Furan Common
Controls: Windows Classic". Lately it was replaced with
the newest set "Sonique Breeze".


What's new in Service Release 2?
--------------------------------

SR2 fixes the text wrapping allocation bitmaps after the
introduction of a new info wrapping function in XMPlay.
The registry of this new change is from Version 3.8.2 Stuff 9.
The new property, for those geekies, is pos_info1line = 2
("2" stands for text wrapping). Old versions of XMPlay may
not be affected in the retrocompatibility of the skin,
although the text wrapping will not be possible.
Nevertheless, it will be just a cosmetic issue.


What's new in Service Release 1?
--------------------------------

SR1 solves a severe issue in which Windows XP and
ReactOS users are presented with a font warning message.
The issue should be solved when updating the face to this
version.
[Thanks to "XMPlay Forums: rst" for reporting this issue].

The generic common controls were completely redesigned under
a new Sonique-inspired interface. Here at B&F we call it
"Sonique Breeze".

Controls for volume and position were added in Mini Mode,
there were no reasons, it was just a detail I forgot.

Sound level indicators were corrected now. Instead of showing
stereo levels (aesthetically horrible), dots are now in mono.
