Windows Media Player 9 taskbar skinned

[xgtr]

Bravo! Well Done, Dazzla!!!!

I just found this thread linked from ArsTechnica and the timing couldn't be better. The taskbar WMP9 skin you made goes beautifully with the Simpli2 theme I just came across. Great work...

screenie

xgtr, out...

[pagal]

so, any chances of a classic version?

[eSouL]

does it work with final build (2980) ?

[BxBoy]

Excellent work!! :D

Hope to see more WMP9 skins in the future..

[shodan]

When i saw this thred i thought: WOAH... finally Dazzla made it again!!!

I really love the taskbar feature of wmp9 but is really ****ing how it match with other themes than luna! :(

Well I hope Dazzla start make some wmp9 taskbar skins, 'cause i've tried the one he made with the beta version and don't work with the final. I also noticed that the modified version is 1,9mb and the original is 2,7mb.... :)

[.....]

i think the problem you're having is because Dazzla said he was using the beta, whereas most people are using the final now

[CarbonKnight]

Someone please, please make a skin of the typical XP Blue taskbar... that's my only real complaint about WMP9.... it was a real blunder not making a skin that matches the look of XP...

[Deron Dantzler]

It won't work on the final build. If you'd go ahead and make these for the final that would be great Dazzla.

Not that im whinning, but I would really like to see a good classic skinned bar ;)

I'll do that, I'm really into classic now. There's a slight problem though, I haven't yet figured out how to stop it resizing the taskbar. I've made it so the media player part of the taskbar is thin, but the rest still expands. Maybe I'll stumble across a value somewhere :unsure:

[CarbonKnight]

I've been working on this for a couple hours and would like some feedback on it. Anything I should change? Is it good? So far, it's coming along well, but isn't even close to done... I'm merely modifying a screen capture of the original, this isn't a screen capture of any WMP skin yet.

[fdiaz2day]

That looks really nice CarbonKnight. :D

[CarbonKnight]

Thanks! BTW Office Space rulez!!!!11!1 ;)

[Knight']

Looks nice Carbon, very nice, but loose the Windows Media Logo :p

Dazzla, cool - at least we know someone is working on it :p thx :D keep us updated!

[Makki]

Ditto on the logo otherwise looks tight man :alien:

[CarbonKnight]

A button needs to be in that area... either the Windows Media logo, or the Windows Xp logo.... or maybe someone has a suggestion for what could go there?

[Mathieu]

It looks great for me, im using Luna default shell style :)

So, keep up the good work :)

I might change to other shell style...

but for now ive decided that Luna is bug free...

Until ThemeXP.org change server (..... damn it's long..), ill stay with MS style :)

[CarbonKnight]

I've revised it a little... I am in the process of making the arrows (play, pause, forward etc.) white to better match the Luna theme. Also I wanted it to be obvious that there was something resting on the desktop, not just a bunch of arrows sitting there as though they are shortcuts, so I made the left side of it look like a window, and then made it fade out. Tell me what you think.

[Deron Dantzler]

Love it!

[sphere]

Hey Dazzla, were you working on or have you already fixed that error about the version number when you try and start wmp?

Or is there already a fix that I haven't seen, because I'm blind as a bat :wacko:

Hey thats awesome man

Will this be suitable for thin taskbar also?

[Fop]

I like this alot :D

What I want is getting the media player controls on my active desktop, I did see some javascript controls included with skins, i'll have a look at them. Or is this already be done?
