WinPod - Black iPod Windows Media Player Mobile Skin *Updated 1/7/2010*

This is the final version of the Black iPod Windows Media Player Mobile Skin. I've since revamped everything! All of the buttons are now prettified for the larger 800x480 screens on our Touch Pro 2s. This should also work on any 800x480 Windows Mobile phone. All of the buttons are large and finger friendly. To distinguish from the original Black iPod you might find via Google, I have named this 'WinPod'. It can be recolored, all you have to do is open up the individual image files in the folder and change the blackspace to whatever color you want.

Improvements include:

• Prettier, cleaner buttons
• Perfect button alignment
• New 'Full Screen' Button
• Video Window properly sized and in proper location
• Volume Slider has been removed and replaced with the percentage. If anybody is interested, I could put it back.
• Landscape mode!
• Black background for portrait and landscape modes now more closely match the default black for WinMo.

Unfortunately, due to the way Windows Media Player mobile works, you cannot 'swipe' the wheel to seek songs or a place in the song. It doesn't handle gestures to the best of my knowledge.

Installation: Unpack the .zip and copy the WinPod folder to \Program Files\Windows Media Player on your device.

This also works great if you set Windows Media Player Mobile for auto-rotate with ChangeScreen. Enjoy!

I've updated the Black iPod skin! I've also edited the original post to better reflect an 'official' release, and all the files have been updated. Enjoy!

If anybody wants the volume slider back for Portrait (can't have it in Landscape, evidently), I might put it back. I removed it because for some reason WMP decided to stop displaying it and I figured that with the volume controls on the up and down buttons, that a second method wasn't really necessary anyway.
