How do I get rid of the controls on the video itself?
I just upgraded to "Version 2.0.4 (r9360)" on this Mac. I think I was running 2.0.something before, and so I believed this would be a bugfix upgrade, and not change the user interface drastically.
Apparently I was mistaken. Now when I play a video, there are 2 sets of video controls: the normal ones in the brushed-metal area, and a second set right on the video itself, obscuring the bottom 50% of the playing video.
<rant>If there's anything more pointless than showing the same set of controls on the screen twice, it's showing the same set of controls twice on the screen by obscuring the very video you're trying to watch. :-)</rant>
How do I get rid of this new second set of controls? I can't find anything in the Preferences or menus to turn this off. Or is this just a bug, and will be resolved in 2.0.5? If not, is the database format for 2.0.3 the same, so I can just download the old version again?

Inappropriate?They're necessary for the pop-out playback. They should not be shown when the video is embedded except for the bottom part but I suppose someone needs to file a feature request for that. FYI, in the next release they'll be slightly more bearable already. -
Inappropriate?im glad its not just me that finds that controller unbearable. One's already there and the other one conveniently places itself to the center of screen every time i touch the mouse. Im surprised not many others have mentioned it. Ill look forward to the next release then.
