Whenever I use a Windows Media player Skin other than the default one, I am faced with the Skin section in the options screen whenever I open Windows media player and whenever I begin playing any media. This is rather annoyinh - as I have to keep closing these options screen.
Is there a way to fix this?
Also, what is the ideal resolution of Album Art for WMP in VGA?
Thanks alot
I'd like to know how to fix this too, I have a nice little wm11 skin, which matches my vista mobile them.
also on album art, how the hell can u get wmp to show this content?

To show album art, just place the album image in the same folder as the song(s) you wish it to be album art for and call it "Folder.jpg".

Hey there!
For those of you who might be interested in this, here's a classic black HTC branded skin I've adapted for Windows Media Player Mobile.
Cheers!
Installation instructions:
Copy the contents of the archive (all files, includin hidden) to DEVICE\Program Files\Windows Media Player and select it from within options in Windows Media Player.
P.S.: Feedback needed!
thank you A++++++
just what I was looking for !!! -- but can you please post the .skn file as well. I had flashed my rom, so I dont have the default skin at all. your black version does not contain that file.

Got home, checked! I knew I couldn't be a geek like that. Archive contains all files, some of them are hidden and you need to set your OS to show hidden/system files.
Cheers!

I haven't met this issue before but try this:
Back-up everything in your skins folder to your PC, delete everything and put the files from the archive in that folder. It should work.

Sorry bro... Can't help you there!
Never seen anything like this.
Soft reset maybe? (I would have said Hard reset but it's a pain losing all your programs because of a Media Player skin issue)
I see a problem
in the original folder on my PC I see nothing ( I display hidde files !!!)
so I can't copy all from my p3300 to PC
I try to install another program than media Player and I'll say you
yes you're right
I try anothyer way instead of hard reset

On your PC, go to folder options and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Now you should be able to copy everything from your Trinity
Hi
I've seen the problem , sure it help some other guys
In fact I have installed Task manager before and I have customized the single Tap X for closing application and that was because the OK doesn't work , it was closing the setting instead of saving
Now I've set to Tap and hold X and it works fine
YEAHHHHHHHHH
I've made my skins (only updated existing ons found here with my photos )
AlbumArt related
Thought I'd write a few lines regarding AlbumArt, for those who might have problems displaying them.
The easiest way of getting album art to display on you Windows Mobile Media Player is to copy them to your device through Windows Media Player, aka synchronize them.
Files and albums in your PC library have tags and if instructed so, Windows Media Player downloads automattically/manually the album information of these files. This consists of ID tags plus album art. There are four files Windows Media Player downloads as album art: AlbumArt_{xxx}_Large (usually 200x200 px.), AlbumArt_{xxx}_Small (usually 75x75 px.), AlbumArtSmall (usually 75x75 px.) and Folder (usually 200x200 px.). These files are set attribute hidden.
When you sync music files with Windows Media Player to your device, it automatically copies these files to you device and Windows Media Player Mobile displays them.
Now, if you do not wish, for some reason, to have Windows Media Player download this information for you or you have a custom CD cover you'd like to use, it is enough to create a Folder.jpg (200x200 px.) inside your album folder and it will display the album art.
If you wish to manually add albums to your Mobile Device and/or having problems with displaying the album art, you can follow the step described above to create a Folder.jpg with the album art and Windows Media Player Mobile will display it.
Here comes the tricky part. The 200x200 px. album art images are great to be handled by Windows Media Player but they appear jerky on Windows Media Player Mobile. That is because the latter uses another album art image size to display. 200x200 px. album art files will show up, jerky though, but if you'd like to have a neat look of the album art files on your mobile device, resize the images to 154x154 px. (this is the dimension this skin uses) and you will get a neat result like the one attached.
Hope you find this info usefull!
Cheers!
Thanks for sharing, but i don't know how to use it, thanks

Media Player Touch themed skin!
I've been using the available Touch skin for Windows Media Player (credits for that go to monoberlin) untill I have discovered that while playing videos, they were not displayed right.
So inspired by that theme I have built a skin that has the issue fixed.
Hope you like it!
Skin uses 144x144 px album art for best displaying results in portrait mode and 112x112 px in landscape mode.
Cheers!
P.S.: Feedback needed, as always!
Landscape Also PLEEASE !

Videos display better in portrait mode because it allows larger overlay display. Anyway, I've made the landscape too and updated the archive.
Cheers!
2nd Media Player Touch themed skin!
Here's another one, this time built completely from scratch.
Fixes:
- New, slick, intuitive buttons;
- Smoother interface;
- Larger video overlay size;
- Larger album art display (159x159 px )
Projects:
- Landscape mode for this one is in production so just portrait for now;
Cheers!

Hello,
I've got a question concerning the Touch Flo3D Music Player. Like everyone knows, it shows the album art, but I haven't got album art in most music files on my PC, so they are also not on my PDA.
The Pocket Player can download the Album Art, but it does not save them.
So is there any program or plugin which can download the album art for my music files in my pocket pc.
Maybe a plugin for the Touch Flo Player?
Thanks for Help
Bump.
Does anyone know of an app that can automatically download and update mp3 media with album art, information, etc? I think Windows Media player does it on the PC and some other media apps.
Any help appreciated
try this one

Thanks, it looks like the ideal app!
EDIT: noticed that this is for the PC, do you know if there is a PPC version?
If i disable the Music and Photo Album tab, is it possible to access it from somewhere else ?
For example create a shortcut in the programs tab ?
Just use the file explorer, or try an alternate photo view. There should also be a link to add in album or photos as well
could you please suggest a suitable replacement to the two ?
personally i don't like WM player and the windows album is rather ugly.
I know a lot of people use CorePlayer for music, though I am not one of them. Music tab is good enough for me.
As for photos, I rarely look at photos on my device, so I can't really help you out there...
thanks, i'll take a look at core player
Try Microfi's Nitrogen for Music Playback.....though I'm not sure whether it works on Topaz...I haven't tried....an alha package I tried failed to install, so I left it altogether.... but give it a try...
