I'm a "newby" member of neowin, and I guess it shows. I want to download one of Herby's PowerDVD 7 skins, but all I see is a small box with a red x within instead of the image. If I click on one of them I get an "unauthorized" error message from his virtualplastic web site. It's like I'm not logged in or something. What the heck am I doing wrong???

Thanks for your help.

I found a couple torrents for the skins at isoHunt and Demonoid.

I tried emailing Herby, but his email address doesn't work. Could anyone provide a step by step guide to creating/modifying a PowerDVD 7 skin? Herby's instructions don't make anys sense to me. I have no clue about XML files. PowerDVD 6 was easy, all you had to do was replace a bitmap in a DLL.

I downloaded the BitTorrent files of the skins and they work GREAT! I personally like the Earthlights skin. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction Yochanan.

I'm going to try to add them as attachments to this post, but as a newbie, I'm not sure how this will turn out.

HI !! folks

Great site :jump: .

Well done Herby and NIKTO (Y)

just two questions.

I'd like to try to make skins(for (powerDVD7) by myself, I read in this thread that there is a guide in the "help" section, but I could not find it.

can you tell me where is it? or anyway how do I make skins?

The second one:

I downloaded the BioHazard from rapidshare, but the guy above says"somehow, rapidshare just doesn't like me".

I don't know that site at all, is it maybe dangerous or what?

Thanks in advance.

ps

Ps Sorry for my English, If it is incorrect, I hope it would be understandable at least :(

Here's my contribution, basic black: Onyx BF

- used Herby's work as a guide

- modded stock PowerDVD 7 "Onyx" skin

- used the following Herby features, but left "Feature Icons" and stock speed controls:

* removed: DVD logo, Cyberlink logo's, Color themes & the Upgrade button

* changed the AutoHideDuration (Fullscreen) to 1000 (= 1 second) instead of 3000

* replaced the Backgrounds.

PS:

- had to ask Cyberlink Support for link to skins since built-in skin downloader does not work

- very quick reply with FTP link in less than 8hrs

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
