Has ANYONE changed the Media Player 10 Skin?

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?

Alpha Testers Needed: TouchNav (Scroll with your fingers)

Hi All,
I have been working on an enhancement that allows scrolling from anywhere on the screen, not just using the scrollbars. The idea is to tweak the UI so that it functions more intuitively. This app is still in Alpha. However, for those that like this functionality and would like to help me with testing and provide me with good suggestions, that would be extremely appreciative.
Here is the run down on the app:
-Loads on startup and places an icon on the home screen.
-Currently, a flicker of the startup screen will appear during bootup.
-May not work at times on initial loading of a window.
Thank and enjoy. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Sorry guys, I had to remove the cab.

This is a great idea. I have been looking for such an application.
I installed it, did a soft-reset and the little icon appeared on the home screen as you indicated. The following is my feedback:
- the scrolling does not work in IE (where it's probably most useful)
- the direction of the scrolling is counter-intuitive. I expected that dragging down to scroll down (as in iPhone); it does the opposite.
Thanks for the application.

good idea maybe. i may misunderstand the features of this program. i'm currently able to scroll by dragging in most apps on my wm5. in IE i use PIE to scroll by dragging. in contacts (both default wm5 and inesoft address book i can also scroll by dragging. i also able to scroll by dragging in resco file explorer. for image i also scroll by dragging using resco photo viewer. am i missing something ?

the issue is that by default, you have to scroll with your stylus and there are no out of the box functionality that allows you to scroll from anywhere with your finger. Similar to the iphone.

You are right about the drag position. In terms of the PIE issue, that is known. I am working on it.

I tried to run this on WM5 and it says that my "mini" .net framework is not compatible. Is this only designed for WM6?

It requires CF 2.0. It is not designed specifically for WM 6.

You may also know this already, but I thought I mention it:
The application disables the "click-and-hold" function in IE which is used to go Back and to select Favorites.
Thanks,

Installed and works great for me - I do agree that the scrolling should be the other way round though. Thanks!

this worked great on my hermes!

One bug I noticed is that to be able to scroll through my contacts, I have to first enter my contacts list, and then click "ok" and then again open the contacts list.

Any news on development or fixed alpha version? I would really prefer this over TouchFlo on my Hermes, since it does not eat so much performance and HTCHome is excellent app though!!
Olioaglio

ei,
any news from this must have application?
dont give up, go on man, you are the one

Yeah... keep us posted on Beta, and possibly RC releases

Thanks for this apha release. I would prefer not to have the icon on the today screen because I have a limited amount of space on there.
The scrolling worked on File Explorer / Resco Explorer. Did not seem to work on my newreader pRSSreader. In PIE I always have 'screen drag' turned on so prefer to use that but would still like the right-click menu which this disables.
Kismat

May the force be with you
rathoughts ,
i came to this thread, every hours just to check if we have more news, i´m waiting for the TouchNav without bugs.
May the force be with you , and work on this wonderful app.
best regards

any news on a future release?

hi,
I only have 2 options:
1. install this app
2. install the rom FantasticB4 or VID
and you people, what you gona do?

Update NEW Themes for I780 & i900 for "TodayLife"

Work discontinued due to Today Life Developer has stopped development on this project. Sory about the screen shots I accidentally removed them from imageshack.​
NEW i900 Omnia Theme. Monday Morning, all credit for this theme goes to the talented Bluemetalaxe you can visit his official thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414699
All I have done is convert this theme and some of the graphics to fit on the Samsung i900 Omnia. Please read the the Notes and instructions below before installing.
This is a Theme for Today Life Program for Omnia i900 Only
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST BEFORE DOWNLOADING!! --NOTE: This Theme is Only for I780
--------------
This is only a theme for the program TodayLife. The program is not completed and is still in development. Meaning there are tabs without any function, or some functionality may be disabled from time to time for testing and developing purposes. As the program is updated I will be updating this thread with information on the newly added functionality and options. This program does not require any 3rd party shell or programs.
Credit and Thanks goes to Dazzlingdaz for creating this wonderful program.
---------------
I will not waste time answering questions to the general operation of this program or problems related to the program itself. This is not productive for me or the developer of the program Dazzlingdazz to have to answer questions in multiple threads. So if you have program specific questions or problems or suggestions of options or functionality to be added please post them in the TodayLife thread found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2402534&postcount=1
-------------
FAQ ( Please Read)
Q. It crashes because of xxxxx
A. First try copying and running the files from system memory as some devices (HTC Touch) have issues resuming from standby with program running from the storage card. If the program still fails - edit the config.XML and select YES for errorreporting - then run the program - when it crashes post the errorreport text file here and I can try and help you.
Q. Why is there nothing on the calendar or music or blah blah page?
A. Because the app isnt finished yet - as clearly stated above! - more is being added
Q. What version of WM do I need?
A. 6.x - it does not work on WM5 or below
Q. How do I install it?
A. You dont! - simply copy all files to a folder on the device and run the EXE - that's it - no install - no uninstall - nothing changed on the device - no registry entries required.
Q. What is the default unlock sequence
A. 1 single guesture - ^ (you can change this on config.xml)
Q. Can I change stuff?
A. Yes - everything! - the landscape.xml and portrait.xml contain all the positions for the icons and layouts for the skin, while config.xml contains details about non-skin related options
Q. What Compact Framework do I need?
A. You need either 2.0 or better still 3.5 - unfortunately some custom rom cookers have not fully incorporated CF into their build and this may cause you problems - not just with my app but anything that uses CF. My only suggestion here is to try an updated (or different) base rom! - it works perfect with all the WWE builds with CF installed - so I know it's the rom
---------------------
Current Functionality of Highway theme:
Home tab is about 90% finished. There will be some modification in the future like: Tower when press to open comm manager or WiFi. When press signal meter it opens default comm window. When press sun it will open weather. When press clock will open alarm.
The contacts tab is currently empty but has been tested and will have a very smooth scrolling contact list.
The settings tab currently is only for program exit, future additions on this page.
The Big red power button is the Program launcher and is on all tabs. When you open the launcher just scroll and tap firmly in a straight up and down motion. To go back to the main screen gesture from right to left
Volume, still in development but to see how it works click on the speaker icon, then gesture up and down to change volume. Note Vibrate not functional yet. Gesture right to left to exit volume.
For email you may have to edit the Portrait.xml to define your email account. Mine is set to Hotmail. If you need help let me know.
Vmail indicator does not seem to be working. This is one reason for me to release this now as I need help testing on the I780. It seems to be working on other devices.
-----------------
Note: almost all the graphics except background and sun were created by hand, by me, and took a lot of time and effort. So if you use them please give some credit.
-----------------
The latest version of Today Life is included in the zip file. To install Download the zip file and extract it on your PC or directly to you main memory of you device like My documents. Then just click on Todaylife.exe

What can I say? I am speechless. This is a very nice theme, a refreshing change to the Diamond theme...
For future expansion, you can consider installing an ICU (in-car unit) that will call out the player (s2p, mortplayer, HTC AM, WMP, etc..)
Once this is completed, it will be an awesome theme!!
Keep up the good work.

[APP] Diamond BackgroundChanger

I've written a small program that allows you to automatically change the background of your home screen. It works with TF3D only.
Why?
Because it's fun to see a different WallPaper every time you turn on your device.
What?
Diamond BackgroundChanger has the following features:
Ability to specify WallPaper Folder
I suggest you grab yourself a copy of this wonderful WallPaper Pack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420906
Ability to indicate whether to change the WallPaper automatically or not
Ability to choose the interval for changing the WallPaper
30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, etc.
Ability to add the program to your startup folder
The program saves and restores your settings when restarted.
How?
Just download the attached CAB file and place it on your device.
On your device, tap the CAB file to install the program.
Note: Click YES if you get any warnings.
What Else...
You must click the "Apply" button to start the program.
You don't have to do this if you add the program to your startup folder ("Menu - Add to Startup").
You need .NET Compact Framework 2.0 to run the program.
Please, let me know what you think of it.
Version History
v0.5
-Bug Fixes (null reference, directory that doesn't exist)
-GIF/PNG files can now be indexed too
-Ability to change WallPaper manually
v0.4
-Indicator that shows when the background will be changed
-Fixes to ChangeWallPaper function (might solve null reference errors)
v0.3
-Fixed bug: 4 hours was actually 4 minutes
-Added feature: Add to Startup
-Added some extra intervals
v0.2
-Does not require the application to be running in the background
v0.1
-First Version

Oops, the close event was not handled properly. Has been fixed!
You can download the fixed version from the first post. Enjoy!

thanks a lot!!!! Nice app!!

@kevinv2u
Hello!
Nice app and very nice idea from you!
Thank you very much for sharing with us and your work!
Downloaded and installed on my diamond!
But i think there is also still a little bug when the device goes to sleep mode and you wake it up with the power on button my Diamond most times do not respond to the touch screen!?? Like the touchs screen is locked?
After about 20-30 sec the touch screen then worked normaly...
I have the problem only when your program is running in the background... when not the touch screen works perfect when i wake up the device...
Maybe for your next version some comments and wishes from me :
- is it possible that the application starts automaticly when windows starts
- it would be better when it runs as an own process then as an programm in
background mode... because i think then it works also to change
backgrounds when the phone is in sleep mode?
Regards

I've already modified the program so that you no longer have to run it in the background. In the new version it will also work when your device is in sleep mode.
I've updated the attachment in the first post. Please, let me know what you think. I haven't had the chance to test it thoroughly yet.

Wow very fast! Thank you!
I´ve installed your new version! Looks very good!
Now it works fine on my diamond, even the bug, i experinced after wake up the device from slleep mode, with your first version is gone!! No problems till now!
Real lovely app!
One little thing, can you ad longer times for changing the wallpaper to your next version?
Maybe 7h, 12h and 24h??
Thanks

THANKS great app.
Now i can put some photo's from my kids in it as a photo album
Maybe for the next version you could put an extra responce time in it like in the samsung phones, 20 and 30 seconds
That would make this great app a real screensaver.
from now.. your app is running on my diamond

It doesnt work on mine what am i doing wrong?
I got all the required programs installed and the path to my photos is correct but it never changes?

I've changed the program a bit. Yes, again!
Tweaked and optimized it a bit, and added a feature to add it to startup.
@johnboywilson
Please, uninstall your current version. Then install the latest version.
Also, it only works on the Diamond (TF3D). Make sure that the path you've entered is correct. E.g. "\Storage Card\Content\WallPaper". Do you get any errors?

I've had it running for over a day now, and it doesn't seem to drain my battery.
The program only runs at specified times, and doesn't keep running in the background. It only runs for a few seconds and then closes immediately.
If you let it change your background every minute, your battery life might be a little shorter, but then again, the program only runs for a second if needed.

Thanks for your new version and adding the longer times to your programm!
Have installed your new version and seems to run fine on my diamond !!
Great work!!!

Nice app,
glad you liked my wallpaper pack

Hey, the app sounds nice, but I get an error whenever it tries to change the wallpaper...

YouTube Panel

Hi,
Here it is, the Youtube Panel!
If you want to use it, first you have to install Youtube of zenkinz:
zenkinz said:
I think I may have found the fix. It's a combination of registry plus system files.
If anybody has done his/her research in this area, please share as well.
Otherwise, I will test out further before sharing the fix.
Update 11/12/2008:
Minor update to the CAB, CAB no longer hard code to \Windows directory, but I have not tried if it works on storage card.
The cab file can be found here
Update 26/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB to restore the 8 system files that were overwritten by the original Youtube CAB. This is probably the last resort before having to hard reset to get Youtube working (if you had previously installed Youtube before)
Update 18/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB, if you do not wish to hard-reset your Xperia to install the X1i-Youtube.cab. But let me know if it works for you, because while this patch CAB does correct the problematic registry entries, it does not correct the 8 system files that the original youtube CAB has overwritten.
Update 17/11/2008:
Build a CAB that works fine after I hard reset my phone (after umpteen times of hard reset!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now you install the YouTube.cab!
At least you can choose the Youtube Panel normally in the Panel display.

Nice work.. But I'm having trouble getting to work. Can you specify exactly which files to install and in what order.
The panel loads, it says "opening" at the bottom for a few seconds and then the desktop goes all white. The taskbar and bottom bar are still visible so it's not a system hang or anything. I just think I may have missed to install something.

You have to install first the Youtube file of zenkinz!
You have to instal it on the device not on the storage card.
And you have to change the youtube.409.mui to your countrycode (for example germany = youtube.407.mui).
You find this file in the windows directory!
Then you install the panel and it is running for me!
I hope it works for you, too!

Thanks, works great you´re the man!

The official youtube panel is not far away anyway.

Which official youtube panel?

at 0:45 there's a youtube panel.
Not sure if that proves a youtube panel is in the making though.. Could be just for illustration purposes.

There will almost certainly be an official Youtube Panel soon. Youtube is owned by Google, who own a rival OS, but this hasn't stopped them making apps for other mobile OSs.

at 0:45 there's a youtube panel.
Not sure if that proves a youtube panel is in the making though.. Could be just for illustration purposes.

False advertising! Since when does the X1 perform THAT smoothly???

Question:
I have the youtube program installed and works great. What does the other youtube.CAB do? just turn it into a panel?
or does it add something worthy by turning it into a panel?
Just asking cuz i dont need to turn it into a panel if the app works just fine.
Thanks btw.

1. It loads the panel > starts the youtube app.
2a. If you close the youtube app, you get a blank panel.
2b. If you hit the X-panel button, the youtube app keeps running and you go to the panel page.

Is there anyway to update the cab so that youtube automatically quits when you change panels?

When i run the panel it's keep white...
I can't find the youtube.409.mui and i don't know the countrycode for france . I've already installed the first cab...
help plz
[EDIT] no its ok now... Work like a charm

Great panel thanks!

Noob question: How do you edit the .mui file ? I tried with ActiveSync but it doesn't let me do it.

YOu only have to rename it! In the windows directory...

Quick question.
The youtube app referenced on post 1 works great, apart from the annoying 1 pixel white border left and bottom on full screen (on the X1).
Does this panel display version fix that?

Freakin Awesome.. Works great!! thanks guys!

xperia youtube panel
heey
i"ve got the same problem with that white screen
and i did first instal the zenkins and then the panel but i can't find where i can chance my countrycode ( netherlands)

I forgot to change the code and installed both .cab files. Youtube panel is working but when I select a video it just stays on the 'connecting' screen after turning to landscape mode.
Is this because I didn't rename that file?
If so, anyone have a dummies guide to changing it to the UK code?
Thanks
A X1 noob..
