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?

From Pixelgirl Presents.

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.

You're welcome & welcome 2 Neowin 2! :D

@ request: here are the links to the guides:

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

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.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
