Very nice!! Great to see people making matching stuff for the VS, really appreciate it.

One thing though. I know you used the similar Watercolor WMP skin to make this. Well there is a thing with that skin that I just don't like.
If you play a video in the window and resize it you will see the visualization in the background.... it is kinda annoying. I hope you know how to fix that... if not, well then it is too bad. Great work anyways, the skin looks very nice and it blends in nicely with the rest.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about (notice the black part, that's where the video is. It's not there atm, since it is on the overlay, but I think you get the idea):

Yeah, I'm a bit of a newb with the coding. I know how to make the video sretch to fill the skin, but I don't know how to make it keep it's ratio. At the moment it's either:

correct ratio + equilizer in background

or

Incorrect ratio + video fills skin

hmm.gif I don't know which one I'd prefer sad.gif I'll have to do some research on WMP9 code.

excellent! btw how do i remove the artist section? i only need name and duration.

if you rename the skin from .wmz to .zip inside will be a file called "Ximian,wms" Open it in Notepad and search for the following:

Quote -
  <playlist
    id = "pl"
    width="jscript:videoview.width"
    height="jscript:videoview.height"
    columns = "artist=Artist;name=Name;duration=Duration;"
    columnsvisible = "true"
    dropdownvisible = "true"
    foregroundcolor = "#000000"
    itemplayingcolor = "#000000"
    backgroundcolor = "#FFFFFF"
    itemplayingbackgroundcolor = "none"
    visible = "false"
    horizontalAlignment = "stretch"
    verticalAlignment = "stretch"
  />
and change it to:
Quote -
  <playlist
    id = "pl"
    width="jscript:videoview.width"
    height="jscript:videoview.height"
    columns = "name=Name;duration=Duration;"
    columnsvisible = "true"
    dropdownvisible = "true"
    foregroundcolor = "#000000"
    itemplayingcolor = "#000000"
    backgroundcolor = "#FFFFFF"
    itemplayingbackgroundcolor = "none"
    visible = "false"
    horizontalAlignment = "stretch"
    verticalAlignment = "stretch"
  />


save it and dump it back in the .zip, rename back to .wmz biggrin.gif

This skin will be updated to reflect the new NewLuna one, it's vastly superior thanks to Ryu7x:
