unable to change skins on Media Player

RickRed40 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-22-2010, 09:42 AM

On my previous WM phones, I've found adding skins to the Media Player was easy. I just the received the TP2. I've put more than a few skins into:
program files/windows media player

When I have the media player search for skins, no results. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

try \Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

Put 4 different skins in there. I was certain this would work. It didn't.

does each skin have it's own folder with the skn file and the png files? maybe they are wrong resolution? try this one http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=102094

Here are a few I made. They are just re-colored and background enhanced stock player skins. If anyone likes them let me know. I create a folder named Media Player Skins on the SD Card. Then drop the skin folders in to that. They will be selectable under Media Player/Menu/Options/Skins. You have to select the version you want for Portrait and Horizontal. These work Great on my VZW TP2. If someone wants a specific color or custom background I could probably put it together. Enjoy.

Dude, you rock! Always had trouble skinning WMP, but this worked perfectly. Thank you!
