Differences between these and the default skins (Mercury & Onyx):

Removed: DVD logo, Feature Icons, Cyberlink logo's, Colour themes & the Upgrade button.

Smaller Taskbar Mode -> PDVD7taskbar2.jpgPDVD7taskbar1.jpg

Changed the AutoHideDuration (Fullscreen) to 1000 (= 1 second) instead of 3000, replaced the Backgrounds,

changed the Step backward and Step forward buttons and commands to Rewind and Fast forward.

You can still use the Step backward and Step forward buttons in the Undocked Player Panel and the Control

Wheel Mode or by using the Shortcut Keys: Ctrl+B (Step backward) and T (Step forward).

Install: Copy the dll files to "%ProgramFiles%\CyberLink\PowerDVD\Skins" open PowerDVD,

select the User Interface Tab in the Configuration Screen, select a skin from the list and click OK.

Nice skins.

Where did you get the picture in the sixth skin?

Doesnt work for me. If i drop the .dll in the skins folder, nothing. If a make a folder for it like the others, powerdvd crashes when I access the configuration.

These skins are for PowerDVD 7, they are not compatible with PowerDVD 6 & older.

Update: I've updated the buttons from all skins to reflect the command changes (Rewind and Fast forward).

This is a Batman PowerDvd7 skin I made using the help in this forumn, Thanks a lot for the guides, and the pointers. I left the multicolor aspect of the skin alone but changed the buttons, and logos to better match the skin. The glasses and dvd logo are also removed.

How to remove the Glasses, the DVD logo, the Feature Icons and change the background

Stop the toolbar from showing up (Fullscreen Mode)

I've added 2 black skins (Earth's City Lights & Not Alone).

Hi,

Love the skins, but I actually do prefer the Step Forward and Step Back controls on the Toolbar and prefer to use the mouse wheel for Fast Forward and Rewind, so is there a way for me to change those buttons back on any of your skins?

Thanks!

Welcome to Neowin! :)

Open the skin with a Resource Hacher and replace Skin.xml with this one (attached zip).

Skin.xml.zip

I've added 2 black skins (Earth's City Lights & Not Alone).

Welcome to Neowin! :)

Okay, I opened the skin in Resource Hacker but I was sure how to replace Skin.xml with the one attached. I did Action-Replace Resource and chose the skin.xml downloaded. For Resource Type I put XML and for Resource Name I put SKIN.XML. I opened PowerDVD and this did not work when I chose the skin, it got an error. Did I do it wrong?

The error says "Skin script file error: C:\Program Files\Cyberlink\PowerDVD\skins\Lightning.dll

Error Code 0xc00ce508

Error Message: An invalid character was found in text content."

When you click OK, it comes up with another message says, "Skin script file error: C:\Program Files\Cyberlink\PowerDVD\Skins\Lightning.dll\Resource.xml.

The error code 0x80070003 is undefined."

Hi,

After I tried all this, PowerDVD wouldn't open until I replaced the new skin with the original one and then I couldn't play DVDs anymore. It stayed in File Mode and would try to read the DVD as media files and, for some reason, that would not play. I had to end up reinstalling PowerDVD 7. It plays correctly now, but it wiped out all the downloaded skins so I have to put them back into the Skins directory. Anyway, it was just kinda strange that certain side effect that I couldn't play DVDs after I tried to replace the skin.xml.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
