Another question, do you want me to commit the wizard.swf, etc to xot as 
well or will you get those from the xerte2 svn?

It enables to have a white default player without the accessibility buttons. I still need to implement a way to get those back by a key press. It makes the LO easier for children with ADD or ADHD. The visuals of the learningObject has priority over the visuals of IFC. It doesn't have any effect on the HTML5 code.
