Description
Can you add the ability to bring up the dock in full screen mode, like in Movist? I like this player a lot better than Movist for its GUI, keyboard controls, and speed, but I really like the way Movist allows you to bring up the dock as if it were hidden normally.

You can kind of sort of already do this by exploiting another glitch in the player. For me, when in Full Screen, I can press Command-H to hide and as soon as I move mouse the mouse, the video reappears and I can see the dock and menubar on top (and a finder window if I had one open). So Command-H... move the mouse real quick.
Alternatively if you just need to see a dock icon that's reflecting a status or do just need to switch to a different app, don't forget about Command-tab (keep holding the Command key after tab). That'll bringing up the App switcher overlay. You can then point to the Mplayer icon with your mouse to get back out without switching to another app or immediately hit Shift-tab with the Command key still held and it will select the previous App (Mplayer). Just let go of the Command key to make a selection or click with the mouse if you're pointing at an icon to make a selection.
