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

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.

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
