Check out my skin installer! It allows you to do it the easy way! Just rename it to like classic.tbs or whatever instead of wmploc.dll and put it in C:\WMPT and run my program, click open skin, and click the skin, log off, then log on. Simple!

Get it @:

Hey everyone, the program progress is going along great and we expect to have a substantial upgrade soon to the WMP9 Taskbar Changer. We plan on hosting a website that will allow people to download skins for it, and what better place to start then here? Therefore I am requesting (if possible) to acquire any of the private skins that have been previewed here, but not posted/hosted. If you are interested, you may send me the either the bmps or the wmploc.dll file at:

AOL Username: OMGLOLBRBROTFL

MSN Messenger: [email protected]

Yahoo! Messenger: starwarscanada

To those who have hosted their skins already, we would appreciate it if we could get your permission before we host it ourselves (up to you), and the appropriate credits and skin name

i.e. Luna by CarbonKnight (or if you wish your name)

We hope *gulp* to have this program recognized on wmplugins.com, and download.com...

:rolleyes: Thanks for the feedback.

I'm also working on a slight update to the Luna for myself and the people who requested it.

I quite like the way the Silver looks, especially the right buttons. Too bad they don't contrast so well on the Luna, but I may figure something out. You know those two small buttons that pop up on the taskbar when you have a ton of windows open? I realized I could of used those for the right buttons, but they fit the entire taskbar, whereas the skin is slightly smaller. :( Too bad.

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
