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.

Onyx BF Skin:

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

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
