Select and change the options and after you are satisfied with it, click on Save to save your options.
To get rid of the ugly Windows Media Player title that is displayed when you preview your space.. carry out the steps below which I did for the HTML module. this can be used for removing/ changing the title and also displaying the media player to its full width depending on the layout of your space.
Click on the customize link on the right hand top corner and select Rearrange or hide modules from the drop down menu (again).
- You will notice that the top right hand side corner of every module there will be an inverted triangle. Click on the inverted triangle found on the HTML module and a menu will drop down.
- From the drop down menu, click on Preferences.
Enter any title you want and click on save. If you dont want to display a title or border.. Tick the Hide title from Vistors and Hide the border from visitors and then click on Save.
