I tested Xubuntu 14.04 for a couple of days, and there the background of the icons is transparent. So it doesn't covers this much of the screen.
In Xubuntu I installed totem from the original repositories: sudo apt-get install totem I'm not sure, but I guess, that this is the same package as in Ubuntu 14.04. If so, then this should have to do with the unity theme, or not? Maybe, this is a clue!? I hope so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309605 Title: OSD (skip, pause) take full window (and fullscreen) height To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/1309605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
