Windows Media Player 9 taskbar skinned

[Dazzla Veteran]

you could try resizing the bitmaps but im not sure

i think dazzla tried that with a RC version he never said how it went

Ya, I tried that, I didn't get very far :/ The player part was small, and right, but it the taskbar extended around it :|

ok

WMPT should be out by the end of the week

[Toxikk Veteran]

dammit.

When WMP9 was released, I tried using the WMP9 taskbar mode with a thin taskbar (KoL's Smooth) and it screwed up the taskbar and made it bigger vertically. I was wondering if this issue has been solved?

Ok here's the revised Luna that I will release when WMPT comes out, which will be in the next few days.

If you want a sneak peek at it just find me on MSN messenger at [email protected] and I'll send it to you.

P.S. if anyone knows how to change the text color in the black pane that comes up in the taskbar, I would really, really appreciate it if they shared. I know it's possible, others in this thread have done it!

which skins work for WMP9 final so far . . . ???

All of them, I think.

:happy: will the WMPT team be taking skin requests?

Yes, but it depends. I think it might be a good idea for us to hold an open vote to see which skin idea is most requested. We'd rather not make a skin that only one person will use.

Hmm noticed after a fresh install of WMP9 that the text color in the taskbar mini mode can be changed by using the Color Chooser. I wonder if it's possible to keep this change constant, regardless of what color you select. I have yet to reinstall my own skin, but I'm guessing it will stick to being that ugly green color. Hmmm, again I don't know how many times I have to ask this, but can anyone who has successfully changed the color permenantly, please inform me how to do so? Thanks.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about in this very thread:

I just changed the colour scheme and then went back to normal and now my text colour is a light blue. Also notice how when you change the colour scheme, it screws up any pictures in the skin, as in attached pic.

Very nice, can't wait to compare it to your other released one now that it has grown on me. (I would have kept the text white though and kept the border around the vis's white also ... but that's just me :D )

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

This is just a idea, but what about a aqua skin. I would do it myself but i am crap at graphics.

Next thing you know we'll have WMP "full-mode" skins :rolleyes: Though if I'm not mistaken the resource images for that are in the actual EXE, which could be interesting (think of the version issues there possibly).

Good work everyone.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

The full-mode bitmaps are in the same file as the taskbar bitmaps (wmploc.dll)

Oh it's possible to do full mode skins, but.... dear god, if anyone wants to try it go for it, but I don't even want to comtemplate it.

Some of the skins do this, and I have been unable to figure out why, but some, like the Luna one, and many others simply don't change the colors in the taskbar skin.

Update (I'm almost done):
