Windows Media Player 9 taskbar skinned

[shodan]

Thanks pal... wonderful wmploc...

just one question... I'm using watercolor ergonomic, but why my media player taskbar is grey instead of blue?

Did you adjust the color settings for the player? If so go back to the color chooser settings and hit reset and it should display correctly.

Geez thanks pal.... I didn't think about that! :p

[Knight']

well, I've started making my own - and made good progress - it's my first EVER skin for ANYTHING lol!

:rolleyes:

So, i'll post screenshots when its done - its a classic/watercolor theme.

Its just a simplistic skin :)

ok, i have a freakin awesome idea... i have been throwing this around in forums for so long but no one knew where the graphics were store...

when you click on the little arrow in taskbar mode, it brings up the window with the visualization...

would it be possible to make that box, and the black background of it transparent?? this would look so cool, cause visuals like vox and bars would look like they are just sitting on the desktop.. trust me it would be cool..soooo...is it possible????

common guys, i have been wanting this since wmp9 came out.

[Etc.]

I just tried it, it doesn't work.

Great job! But classic still sucks...

[Guest]

im not a fan of classic but i made this to say to my self that i CAN do it

i am at the moment on luna because of your skin CarbonKnight :p

[Knight']

My classic skin looks very different from that! I'll post it when its done :D

[CarbonKnight]

Maybe instead of the WMP 9 thing on the left, you should use the old WMP 7 classic logo.

How do I make my custom wmploc.dll work?

[Toxikk Veteran]

Okay here it is... :) :D

Luna Taskbar WMP9 < Folder containing all the files

wmploc.dll File for WMP9 Build 2980 (Final)

There ya go! Don't forget to backup your original wmploc.dll file... rename it to .bkp or something.

Thanks to Iceman for hosting the file.

can you mail me these files? i can host them for you if you need me to.

[CarbonKnight]

Just check a little later on. It might be in the next page or so, but I have it hosted there. Hang on, I'll get it.

Ok here it is:

WMPLOC.DLL

[CarbonKnight]

Hey you guys think WMPlugins would be interested in any of our skinZ? Sure, there's the whole "WMPLOC.dll semi-advanced" thing that takes place, but most of the skins or plugins there are unsupported anyways.

Another question: When you take a wmploc.dll file from another user, is the personal info, aka playlists, media files included? Or is that a seperate file?

carbon, any plans on making the vis and restore buttons any larger?

[CarbonKnight]

carbon, any plans on making the vis and restore buttons any larger?

You mean the right side buttons? I have personally had no problem with them, and while they are admittedly smaller than the WMP9 base skin's buttons, I like the way they look.

[Toxikk Veteran]

maybe just a few pixels wider ;)

just a request tho.

[CarbonKnight]

Has anyone had any problems installing the skin? I just went to install it and it claimed it was version 8.00 or something when it was look for the final build number. Don't know what that's about... :blink:
