Why didn't I think of that earlier? It's not precisely what I
would like but it definitely works! It requires more
manipulation than simply clicking on an icon but that's no
different than a lot of stuff I do ...
It reproduces the entire VLC window with all the trimmings, all
I actually need is the video image, and oddly I can't reduce the
window width smaller than a certain size, while vertically it
can be closed down to nothing? It can be set as "always on top."
Clicking on "full-screen" immediately switches to a 23" wide
display of the video image only with a small tool bar at the
bottom, a usable feature certainly.
I had hoped to make it use a little less screen area than it
does but this is certainly one solution to my problem.
Thanks.
Bob
