Hi,
i know everyone seems to use TCPMP but i like using Windows Media Player 10, i have been trying for a very long time to change the skin to a realy nice one but i havn't found a way to do it, not even the windows site explanes how to do it, they just say download them.
If anyone managed it then could they reply with where the files are in memory and what is the name of the skin so i can try the same.
Thanks in advance and i know a few people have been looking for an anwser
I have tryed for ages to change the skin in media player but there is no way ive found.
i did notice that there is a *192.bmp file in the windows directory (windows\) that if you open looks just like the default skin. if i rename the default(portrait).skn file in the \Program files\media player\ folder then media player wont start in portrait mode so its definutly pulling the skin from there but all the different ways i put the skin files i have it just wont work, not even if i rename then the default(portrait) will it work.
Has anyone got this to work?
Well, I think a couple of Juni's skin suites have a WMP skin (Navigator certainly does). So someone must've used them, and I assume there are instructions on how to change them included with the suite.
Have a look over at the SBSH Software forum - in the "Pocketbreeze Resources" area, or at the Lakeridge Software Forum - in the "Wisbar 2.x Skins" area. I know I've seen threads about WMP skinning in one of those two forums.
Simple, I think you should just find a *.skn file and put it in the \Program Files\Windows Media Player. Then using the WMP to search for a new skin as clicking the button in WMP.
Then you will have a simple browse of your skn there, and choose them. They will be Ready for you.
Enjoy~!
Cheers

i downloaded this for wmp10; the skin transforms your player to look like an ipod. quite simple but i like it because the buttons are spaced in such a way that you don't depress 2 at a time (when using your finger). can't remember where i got it though. as my unit is connected to my car stereo; when driving the layout makes pressing the keys a lot easier as compared to the default skin.
what i did was; unzip the files and placed them in a folder i named "ipod". using file explorer; go to: my device->program files->windows media player. paste the folder. go to wmp10; menu->options->skins. give it a few seconds as it's searching for skins. the ipod skin should then appear.
the downside: when using this skin you cannot view videos. the sound will be heard but the screen of the ipod will not change. you will have to revert back to the default wmp10 player skins (the blue one). also; even if the ipdo skins is being used; switching to landscape mode will automatically change the ipod skin to the wmp10 default blue skin.
hope that helps.
cheers

Thanks very much Robson, but i have already tied that method and but media player searches for a skin for about 3 seconds and then only gives me the opion of the defaulf skin, i guess if it works with your fine then it must be an error on mine, even after a hard reset this does not work, i have also tried this method on my M2000 (WM2003se) and it doesn't work either
I hope we can solve this
I will keep trying
Hi to all,
Robson, can you let as know where did you got the i-pod archive? Let as know more ways to make that way easy. Thank you in advance.
interesting how the player doesn't recognize the new skins in the library. after waiting for 3 seconds, i take you did try to press on the left or right directional buttons (to go to the next skin option). oh well, sorry to hear that. i'm attaching a snapshot of the website i got the ipod skin from. as you can see there are other wmp skins to choose from. as i mentioned; i opted for the ipod skin because the spacing of the buttons is far enough to allow me to use my finger when i want to pause, stop or skip tracks. the website is
http://browse.deviantart.com/skins/media/wmp/wmpppc/
FYI; do NOT use this skin:
http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/upodsilverwindowsmediaplayerskin.shtml
buddy of mine complained that it caused his ppc to hang thus resulting in a hard reset. go for the first link above 8)
hope that helps
Thanks a lot for the site. :wink:
it seems that these skins works for the wizard only, because when i saved them on my kjam they worked just fine, but on my jasjar it didn't recognize them at all, it gave me only the default skin, even if i innitiate it portrait or landscape.
thanks for the post though, i'm happy with them on my kjam now.
cheers.
Robson,
thanks for your replys, yes i did try and click left and right but they are both greyed out, i guess these are only for the wizard then, NONEED, have you actualy managed to get the ipod skin to appear on your jasjar? if you could send a screen shot just so that i know that im not wasting my time when i try to get this working
Thanks for your time
Hi, im just trying to keep this post alive because im sure alot of you would also like to have this option, i still havnt found a solution, in the registry it does show that you can change the skin to another one but when i do WMP10 just hangs.
There MUST be a way, im going to take the ultimute useless route to try and sort this out now, im going to call..........wait for it..........Orange Tech department!!!!!!, i am sure they wont even have a clue what im talking about but its the last route left to me
Orange Tech support here :lol: ;
Please try the attach file, I believe you'll find that it works. The problem is that the VGA screen of the Universal is 4 times as big as the screen on a normal Pocket PC so every thing needs to be doubled. This will not of course work on a normal QVGA PocketPC.
Have a nice day, and thanks for using Orange Tech support....
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!!!
I have been to countless sites/forums/tech site to try and sort this out, i have to take my hat off to you and thank you yet again, you are a STAR!!, as you can tell-im exited, the skin is perfect!

i'd like to get the skin i got with MS Voice Command to work... so - i need to double every number in the skn file, then double the size of the images..... right?
(btw, i've not got the OzVGA hack changing my resolution - does that make a difference?)

poo.... guess not. :-(
after several attempts, i've got nowhere with this.... i guessed that the triplets of comma-separated numbers were probably colours rather than size/coordinates, so left them alone. but still, nada

How do you apply this skin? Will I still be able to view pictures in Pocket Internet Explorer if I use this skin?

Well i have finally found a working app that allows you to control your windows media player from your today screen. attached is a image and cab to install. big thanks goes out to the guys over at Artemis forum especially tom_codon for the cab! doesn't do volume but maybe someone can take it apart and add that.

Spb ToPlay cab file
From here
yes i kow about sbptoplay but that does not control your media player. it gives you another media player. this is a imate plugin that allows you to control your media player from your today screen. allows change of songs and play/plause/stop controls.

It plays my WMP10 playlist so that's close enough for me.
not for me and probably others so here is another option for those that want full functionality.
After re-reading my response I realized that may have come across rude... didn't mean to!
I just meant that I thought it was a WMP plug-in.
its more of a htc plugin for windows media player. no prob

First off, I love the WMP application, awsome awsome appl, I really think that Microsoft will pick up this idea.
My reason for this PM is ask you how I can get my windows live search bar to be transparent. Donations will be in order. Please please please.
I installed it on my Black 2.5 phone, but the plugin doesn't show up under the Today plugins. It doesn't show up under the Remove Programs applet either. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have soft reset immediately after the installation like it prompted me to (should have powered down, then powered up).
Can anyone who got this to work please describe how you installed it, and the OS you're running? Thanks!
im running black 2.5 but dont remember if i soft reset or not. i recently did a reinstall of black 2.5 because i had the lost memory card issue in media player and went to 3des.3 but switched back to black bc u know the saying back on topic. i reinstalled it i belive before the vingular video cab which does a soft reset. try to reinstall the app once more and soft reset afterwords if that doesn't work post again and we'll try to figure it out.
Nope, didn't work - subsequent cab reinstalls didn't even prompt me for a soft reset. I did a shutdown, then restart but that didn't do anything either. Installed it to both SD card and main memory.
i had the same problem when i took the cab out of the extended rom. i then downloaded this cab and it worked. hmm go to this thread and try it from there. who knows maybe itll then work. if not then well keep trying.
Yup, the link in that thread worked - the filesize for the CAB is different though. Thanks for the pointers!
updated firts post with correct cab. thats what u get for trying a few till you find out that works on hermes sorry guys!
It is importnat to note SPB program is 10 times bigger compared to this solution
An OEM version of the new HTC album (extracted from the Touch dual) has been published on the thread below (post #3).
By the sounds of it they haven't got it working, but there is certainly some interest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339587
that's good, but it doesn't work.
Yeah, it didn't work for me, either, on my TyTN II. But I'd love to have it. It's the only thing I feel is missing from my device (the built-in one is kludgey to use).
They have got it to work, but only in a cooked rom. I hope someone can build this into a cab!!!
what is this for? any screenshots?
I saw a .cab for this one around some forums working for the wizard. does it work for the prophet? is it the same you have gollum?
Working fine for me on my Touch.

Is the other version a different language?

doesnt work on my (beloved) wizard
it cant start up, i just click on the exe file after the instalation then there is the waiting cursor for like 3 seconds and after that...well nothing
Both versions work on my TyTN II... kinda.
The flick-advance and finger-rotate work most of the time, but the program refuses to do the circle-zoom, putting up a little "No zoom!" icon (for a picture that's not zoomed in to 100%).
Sometimes the program gets stuck in a mode where trying to move the picture just makes it bounce off the edges of the screen. And a little box, much like the zoom rectangle in the native Pictures & Videos application, only empty, appears in the corner. At this point, it's difficult to know what to do with the program, since it's taken over the screen.
So it's neat, but as something I'd start in order to show people my pictures, I give it a miss. There's nothing worse than showing people your flash gear only to end up fighting with it and apologising instead.
Seems to work fine. But when I enter the settings dialog, I can't seem to do anything there. But who cares? I don't need any settings. Circle zooming and rotating works for me. Nice piece of software.
juvs made a cab, and it works fine
Anyone getting an orientation problem? mine seems to start up in landscape mode?

It's supposed to start in landscape mode (I think), same way as the camera view.

Everything you have described above is 100% intended behavior for this app.
Circle Zoom: Try going in the opposite direction you tried. Amazing. (Clockwise : zoom in. Counter-Clockwise: zoom out.)
Little Box Top Left: This mode is entered by hold your finger down in the app for around 1 second. At this point you can pan the picture by dragging. You have to stop touching the screen until the little white box goes away to get back to the mode where you can flick-scroll. This mode is really only useful when you're zoomed in; the little white box gives you a reference to which part of the picture you are currently zoomed in to.
This app works great.
Right, and half circle left rotates it one way and half circle right rotates it the other, works great on my mogul, HTC Album for the win!

same here.... doesn't work for my prophet (mysterious). besides, it also seriously slowed my system [email protected][email protected]"
I am also having problems with Juv's version (posted earlier in this thread) on my Touch. Starts landscape, cant see menu and controls bounce between pictures.
There is another cabed version 3 posts down that works alot better for me. You might try it if you are having issues with the first Juv version!!
cheers

Look for files that have 04 in the name on your mobile device. Read the other 2 digit 04xx. Copy HTCAlbum.exe.0409.mui in \Windows dir on the mobile device into a new files called HTCAlbum.exe.04xx.mui. Now u can see menu in english.
Thanks to Itje 4 explanation of country code in MUI.
Work like a charm with just one minor bug on my Kaiser; when the keyboard is slid out the picture is up-side-down. But that's like that with many apps that were ported from other roms. Hell, even for some of the applications with the stock rom.
Still I like it, make my TyTN II a litte better again.
Cheers,
Cacti
--PROBLEM SOLVED, SEE SECOND POST FOR CAB FILE--
I tried searching, I also tried many versions (notably the most recent), but nothing changed.
Anyway, here is my problem:
When I try to play a song directly from the "All Songs" menu, it will ALWAYS freeze, no matter the conditions. HOWEVER, when I go in the other menus (such as Artist, Album or other categories), it plays flawlessly.
I'm desperate as I'm stuck with WMP right now. Can anyone provide a fix/solution/CAB?
Thanks a lot in advance
Nico
lol
EDIT: Yes! Oui! Woohoo!
I got THIS version and it worked flawlessly. All the others did not work with my WM6 TyTN (with original ROM).
I also attached it if you also get this problem.
Tried and tested.
EDIT: ARGH i just realised that i messed up somewhere in my upload, after menu it reverts to VGA with blackened places where it doesnt cover WVGA. still playable tho. gimme a while to solve it, i must have mixed some thing up some where
EDIT 2: fixed
I got several mails requesting for the WVGA version of Warcraft 2 as seen at http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-games.html. Its simple really, all you need to do is edit the preference files and you got yourself WVGA.
I believe there are a few WVGA versions on XDA, and i tried them, and i've no idea what he did but damn that was laggy and choppy. rest assured this isnt the same file, and its smooth and perfectly playable. (take note WQVGA is probably possible as well, just download the QVGA version from my other link, and download these preference files, and edit the two preference files inside with notepad, pay attention to the resolution)
Download the WVGA version (fixed tilesets and everything, shud be perfectly fine now)
http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2009/11/warcraft-2-wvga-version-totally-smooth.html
(u get better performance if u switch off the sounds)
pfffft solved the problem. i accidentally left out the tiles for 480X800. Will update within 24 hours with the files, gotta sleep now.
its done. please leave a comment if u have any problems or if it works fine for u.
Downloading
tell me if it works aite

glad to know, both instant action and campaign works fine right?
I downloaded it from my computer and then extracted it onto my TP2 since it was not seeing it as a .rar file when I downloaded it directly from my TP2. I just ran it on Single player and works great Thanks for uploading War2.
I was just wondering if there was a certain method you guy's used to do the "Right click" where it directs the peon? For me to move them around I use the attack button haha. Also there's no way for us to build walls huh? I trapped a few peons while building stuff haha. Was just wondering, anyhow thanks again!
Played it.
Pretty fun. Runs smoothly. Crashed after I beat the first level, but that might just be due to memory usage.
It doesn't support hardware keyboard and lelt orientation (turns right landscape)!?
When clicking near the place of virtaul keyboard (hided by game), the HTC virtual keyborad binks with the game window...
I use the game on the WM6.5 FR HTC stock rom
what are the campaign and gzes rar files for?
Awesome!!!!
this is very cool!! it runs great on the Tmo Usa Tp2.
Hmm.. I was excited to see this and downloaded right away. It starts up fine but when I try to click on "Human campaign" it crashes. Any ideas?
does not support hardware keyboard. to save just overwrite one of the save files provided. save often and save twice in two different slots cuz sometimes it gets corrupted
@Jrun, no choice but to use the move and attack function. to avoid trapping units place your buildings carefully. this can be done by clicking on the building u wanna build, but duntap straight away on the screen. instead, drag your stylus and u'll see the outline to place your building.
@ed_bracam, no problems on my side with virtual keyboard. if u're starting the game from somewhere, where there was virtual keyboard, like in sms windows and u use some shortcut to start game, may happen.
to swicth left/right orientation, go to options and select "full screen". it'll switch orientation.
@perkins, i'm sorry but i and the others have no problems so it sounds like its your rom. check ram, and pagepool and redownload maybe your download is corrupted.
@hani, dun wrry bout them
Can't get it to work with custom rom, I get to the menu click on single, it load then crash. running off of my memory, do i have to run it ont he device?
the first time i ran it i witnessed some screen tearing.. but now, it works just fine. hope i dont witness screen tearing again.
thanks a lot Baronic!!

screen tearing? weird never saw that before. you're welcome
Any chance of a manual?
The best should be support of the keyboard because it's not easy to play with the stilus only (you cannot win in hard mission because you develop too slow). If I remember, WC2 has a lot of keyboard shortcuts to play fast.
