A late answer, but ... yes, there is a way of doing that, if you have some basic XML or image editing understanding. A PotPlayer skin (in your case the default skin, aka the Default.dsf file located in c:\Program Files (x86)\DAUM\PotPlayer\Skins folder - or if you installed PotPlayer to a different folder, [PotPlayer installation folder]\Skins folder) is just a simple zip file. If you want to remove those buttons, you'd have to:

  • close PotPlayer
  • make a backup of the Default.dsf file above by copying it to a safe location, in case something goes wrong (if that's the case, you'll just have to copy it back again to [PotPlayer installation folder]\Skins folder from the location where you backed it up)
  • temporarily rename the Default.dsf file (not the backup, but the one you're going to modify) to something like Default.zip and unpack its contents
  • modify the related XML/TXT file(s) in the unpacked skin contents to either remove those buttons completely or, if there are images there, edit those images to make the buttons "invisible" (e.g. draw a background color rectangle over the text or just erase the text - but be aware that if you only edit the relevant images, the buttons would still exist and respond to commands, although they'll be "invisible")
  • repack the previously unpacked skin contents (now modified in the previous step) back to Default.zip by overwriting the original zip and its original contents
  • rename the Default.zip back to Default.dsf and test if it works in PotPlayer by running the application

I did some "research" for you in this and it turns out that you'd basically have to modify the BottomVideo.txt file in the unpacked skin contents to do what you wanted to (just search for the string 360 in the file and you'll find the XML part that deals with those buttons). Good luck, if you're still interested!

That's all. I did such editing when making my own PotPlayer skin a couple of years ago and it turned out well enough to post it here. By the way, I'm going to modify this default PotPlayer skin too (and yes, I'll remove those buttons as well), but I'll do it later on.
