Working WMP Skins
 
Does anyone have any working WMP skins for the TP? I've tried the ones over on XDA but they are not detected at all by WMP. Any ideas?

Yeah, I found the reason, they are all QVGA (240x320) - the resolution and dpi are incorrect in the skn file and hence they will show up as options (you can open the skn in a text editor and see the definition of 240 x 320 x 96. You can edit the skn file to redefine the resolution and image placement, but the images are not appropriately sized, so this is of little use. Setting the skn to the proper resolution though will allow WMP to recognize it, it just won't be of any use (wrong DPI images are the wrong size) so the theme displays blank.

It seems SPB offers some for free download, all I've been able to find so far. http://www.spbclub.com/program_skins...%20Player%2010

The one that I tried does work fine - they are just not necessarily what I am looking for.

s2p is not a replacement for WMP, WMP is the only player that will correctly display a h.264 video.

Other looks - the diamond QVGA theme over at XDA is quite nice but sadly only QVGA. It seems slim picking on VGA themes so far. I've sent a pm to see if the source files for the QVGA diamond them are available at a higher resolution for VGA, if they are it should be fairly trivial to whip up a proper skn.

Well, found one over at XDA that looks quite a bit better than the stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455813

And a completed one if anyone else is looking: http://forum.htcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=533

Both do work in portrait and landscape.
