[help] Skinning Media Control Plugin

Heya,
i`m pretty new with TLB but i must say it`s the best app i ever bought. However i`m having probs with skinning MC plugin and i`d apreciate any help. I`ve got the resources i need for the skin hoever i could use some help with the ini file. I`ve opened a skin ini file and here`s what i need help with:

[options]
version= - is this the version of the skin?
background = can we leave this field blank if we don`t want to have bacground?

Code:

[item0]
type= button - does this define if it`s a button or menu?
command=title - what else can be chosen besides this?
rect = 56 8 187 19 - what are these measurements? does they control the position or size of the button? what would they look like if my button was 26x22px?
font=Tahoma - i`m guessing this is used only with meters that output text?
align=left - is this alignment of the text or the whole button?
color = 000000 - text color?

also what dimensions should be the buttons for the animation? what should be the distance between 2 frames?

i want to make a simple control skin that looks like the one in attcahment.

I apreciate the help,
Aleks
