Hi everyone, here's my first contribution to this wonderful community
I don't know how many people were in my boat but in my search for a pretty WVGA skin last week I stumbled across this iPhone style one:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/sk...inal-skins/wmp-skin-005-iphoneipod-touch-wide
However, the WVGA skin seemed to have simply being a badly resized QVGA one so I spent some time and remade all the graphics. Only changes I made were that the shuffle and repeat icons are now grayed out by default and become white when active. Also in landscape the play/pause, previous and next icons no longer sit in their own little box. Everything else is pretty much the same but high res.
For those that don't know, install the skin by placing the "iPhone" folder in your /Program Files/Windows Media Player folder and select the skin from the options. You will have to select the landscape one when in landscape mode.
Credits to MyLostBlog for the initial design.
Update:
MyLostBlog has pointed out that there is an official higher resolution version of this skin here:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=82
I have uploaded the cab from here as well as the design.
This has an extra mute button and fullscreen button in landscape mode.
Thanks again to MyLostBlog for the beautiful design.
very nice skin! thanks for your work!
Although I'm not an iPhone fan this skin looks great and much more comfortable than the standard one. I will give it a try later on.
Nice skin. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, I'm not a fan of iPhones either but the default WMP skin is horrible. I can't really change to another player though because I use voice commands to play my music

you're not changing players, you're just installing a new skin to make it look different

Haha what? I know that, I am the OP. I'm saying that I agree with WMP being rather old and lacking some useful features, however, I can't use voice commands with other players such as CorePlayer or S2P and hence I'm more or less stuck with WMP - hence the skin.

How do I get the Landscape Skin to show up in the Options window?
Turn the phone on landscape (make sure you have a screen rotating app installed such as FlipIt).
Once in landscape navigate the options and it will display landscape skins.
Ah, I see. Gotta use a screen rotater and get in landscape first, huh? Gotcha. Thanks.
Is anyone having problems of this not working? The skin only applies for a few minutes then once I make sure it's in use in options it just reverts to the original skin. Also my WMP folder is empty .
no registration just choose your resolution and no caps just copy paste contets to windows media player folder http://mobilityupdate.com/iphone-skin-for-windows-mobile-qvga-vga-wvga-wqvga-supported/
This skin has saved my WMP experience... Thanks!
Any chance of someone porting a true "Touch Player" setup to WMP11? I truly miss the swipe from TF, but it just kills the memory to run it all...

I am pretty efficient at searching for things on the internet but I am struggling badly to find a diverse collection of WM5 SKINS and THEMES
I really would prefer to have good skins on my phone as most of the themes are bland and generally only differ in their wallpapers.
Thanks in advance if you have any good skins or themes or any awesome sites where to download!

Are you sure the themes are customised for WM5? Because from the screenies i can see it's for WM2003!
This prolly isn't anything you all don't know about but there are some neat themes here.

Love the apple black, unfortunately, when using the theme with magic button, the task bar and close button's color is grey and not black. That's the only thing preventing me from using the skin. Grr.

hey could you copy that and send it to me that setup is perfect?
Hi!
Here comes another updated version of StopWatch. This time it's an update to version 2.2, and it is currently available for QVGA, VGA and WVGA screens.
The sleep-bug where the timer and stopwatch slows down when the phone goes into sleep mode has been corrected. Further, I've also included support for MoDaCo's AppToDate application for easy updating.
Info from earlier:
You can use both mp3s and Wav-files as alarm sounds, but it is advisable to use short clips, since there currently is no way to stop a started alarm. (This means that a played song for example wont stop play until either the program is exited or the song is ended.) I am currently working on this.
The program has also been reviewed in its latest version (2.0) by Gadgetmix.com:
http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=2724
The new versions can be found at:
http://kaldma.se/programs/stopwatch/
Please report problems here!
/ nitramk
Version 2.3
- QVGA-version available
- Small corrections for QVGA screens
Version 2.2
- VGA and WVGA versions available.
- Bug when splitting times in advanced mode with d-pad corrected
- "Sleep mode"-bug corrected
- AppToDate support
Version 2.0
- VGA and WVGA versions available.
- Timer function
- Changeable timer alarm with vibrate alert
- Ability to use the D-pad instead of the screen
- Two ways to display split times, one as in V1 and one with focus on individual lap times as requested.
- The stopwatch and the timer both runs perfectly well when the phone goes to sleep or when you hit the power button to turn the screen off, compared to V1 where it didn't .
Version 1.0.1
- QVGA and VGA versions available.
- That small "closing app"-bug corrected.
Version 1.0:
- Only for VGA-screens!
Files below are of the latest versions!
Great stuff thanks! i will try tonight

this is highly usable, great job.
I think i keep my diamond and dont go to the iphone
Looks great, fits very well. Maybe you can release a german version? I´ll help translating.
That would be possible and yes, I would need help with that since my German isn't that great.
First, though, I feel I have to complete the program a little by for example adding a timer function and making some other fixes.

Beautiful app. This is what we were missing and a little vibration effect, great.
thanks

Very nice work NitramK
Hello,
at first, sorry for my english, I'm from Germany. I've searched a while for a VGA Skin to match the look of the Media Player with the rest of my Diamond, but couldn't find anything. So I created this evening one by my self.
It's not finaly finished, but nearly at the end. If someone is interessted in this work I can Upload it here tomorrow or at monday.
Here some Screens how it looks at the moment. If you have some ideas for Improvement...
Cheers, Fred
In the Black area is the Video normaly shown
So,
finally here it is, added today some nice rating icons and made a new Screenshot.
At the moment just portrait mode, but if I got time I add a Landscape version if some people ask for it.
If you have ideas for Improvement I'll try to implement them (if it is a good idea )
Have fun...
Here's also some news about it. Tank you for this news entry *g*

WOW I didn't notice until now you've posted it already! Looks great, THANKS!!!
so this should work on 1.97 roms and 1.93 or?
Makes no difference which ROM you use, should work on every ROM with the WMP.
Could you make a black version of this skin?
Thanks nice work !
Very good job.
best regards
nice skin, thanks!
i believe i have seen it b4. didnt dutty got this theme on his ROMs?
No, this theme is completely made by myself! There's nothing copied.
All other Versions I've seen are just upscaled qvga versions.
great skin,but i would really like to have landscape too
s
but how to insrall it,where to copy these files?
just extract the folder into \program files\Windows Media Player
interesting,i have extract into that folder(so no in internal storage,i ectract this into device memore\program files\winows media player) but skin is same,and yes i have softreset?!?!
Media Player
After you have placed the Folder in Windows/Media Player look for Options/Skins then select and the device should automatically locate it and you can scroll right/left to choose.

skin's not working
Hi, guys!
i've got a problem...TCPMP v0.72 RC2 works but the skin doesn't!
I don't see buttons at all...some of them shows after i click on them but it is useless.
could you help me please?what version of TCPMP are you using?
thx a lot
apply the skin
using the menu within TCPMP apply the skin and see.
i away from my phone and home comp... so cannot check exactly... but from memory all i can suggest is to apply the skin and check.
Still can't play any newer files, got the "missing MP42 codec" message, couldnt find the plugin for TCPMP, yet the only fully working player for me remains Core Player .. goody gumdrops
Coreplayer is better, but it's not free. Also it doesn't support AC-3 and subtitles, so the best is using both of them.

looks like portrait/landscape got mixed up - try attached 'modified skin.xml' rather than original.

Hello,
I've got the same problem: TCPMP works, but the skin doesn't.
Does anybody have a working one? (I like the look of the WMP12-look-alike-skin and would like to use it for my HD Mini).
