This thread is almost a year old. The only file which should be used is the one I posted in the other thread (where I also posted the wallpaper).

Olive Verde WMPLOC.dll skin:

Download

With my WMP9 fully up to date my wmploc.dll is version 9.0.0.2980 which is what that Olive Verde skin is.

I tried to use that Windows Media Player dll file, but the version number doesnt match my player version. Is there a simple way to change the version number on the dll?

Run

c:\windows\inf\unregmp2.exe /UpdateWMP

and that "mismatched dll" message should go away, if you're just trying to get rid of that "Version Blah Expected" message.

does anyone have a collection of these they could upload for me? i'd love to get hold of as many of these as possible, dontmatter what version of the file i'll just put images in new version :D

thanx heaps, i missed all this action since i wasnt here that long ago

I've got quite a few I made, I'll have to dig them up off of old CD's though.

Watercolor Ergo

Watercolor Blue

Watercolor Olive

Watercolor Grey

Redhat

Fedora

Classix

Windows Classic

Luna Blue

Olive Verde

I'll have to dig up some real old CD's, no promises though.

So I had a little bit of inspiration from this thread and decided to make my own skin.

The idea was to make it merge with the taskbar based on the OpusOS Deep Visual Style. Anyways here's my outcome so far...I know it's pretty sad but it's a start. Can anyone give me a few pointers on how exactlly I can go about skinning this? Only a few of my buttons actually work heh. Any help would be appreciated!

I noticed that in the registry WMP looks up HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\TaskbarPlayer, values "HorizontalMode" and "VerticalMode", which appears to allow for a skinning of the taskbar player without having to modify wmploc.dll... ... ?

I read through the first 8 pages of this thread(before giving up) and cannot find where I can download any skins(For my version) etc for skinning WMP9 in the taskbar..

Can some one please point me in the right direction

Im using WMP9 version 9.00.00.3075 on XP Pro

Thanks peoples

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
