Customization

There are at least 3 ways to customize this control.

1. Create custom XIB and hook up the Outlets as they appear in default XIB (DZVideoPlayerViewController.xib). No need to hook actions, because they will be added programmatically in the DZVideoPlayerViewController class.
2. Subclass DZVideoPlayerViewController and provide your overrides for different methods.
3. Manipulate views by their public properties. Set images for playButton and pauseButton, change tint color on progressIndicator, hide fullscreenExpandButton and fullscreenShrinkButton if you don't want that feature.

Feel free to provide Pull Requests with custom XIBs you create. Good luck!
