No More Than Nothing

Hidden Settings of MPlayerX

| Comments

Some users want more settings, some users want more simplicity.

I think exposing all the settings in the software and stacking them to the GUI is a bad choice. Not only complicating the GUI is bad, making users make the unimportant choice is even worse.

Well, this is my choice of design.

For who does want some feature which is not available in GUI, you may find it here.
