[Xerte] Xerte3: Hide Play/Stop/Tracker on VideoIcon

[Peter Huppertz]

I think you had once the idea to have the raw VideoIcon and an extra ControlbarIcon. That would be perfect for me. Than you have the free choice where to put it (above the video, below, over). Ideally the ControlbarIcon would have properties like pauseButton: "media/myPauseButton", pauseButtonOver: "media/myPauseButtonOver". The question remains on how to tie VideoIcon and ControlbarIcon together. I'm not a big fan of giving IconIDs to all the icons. Perhaps it would be possible that the ControlbarIcon detects if it has a parent VideoIcon?
