  In this skin, the volume buttons have been removed to dedicate more "screen real estate" to the file information and the video. This skin was created using the PC version of Windows Media Player 10 for button image sources and colors. Please feel free to give feedback on this or any bugs that you may find. Instructions for installation are in the zip file. This post has been edited by guardedthought: Jun 6 2005, 19:31

Okay, so now a hundred downloads later, does anyone have any feedback or suggestions for improvement? Has anyone tested this skin on MPx200's running WM2002 and WM2003?

The guide showed the directory path as \Storage\Windows\WMP Skins\ so I changed it to \Storage\windows\WMP Skins\ That is how the directory structure in the phone is set up. Try it with the corrected directory path and see if it works. Also, I did build this on a WM2003 phone, so I don't know why it wouldn't work on a WM2002 phone. Has anyone here tried it on a WM2003 phone? |

I can't understand where people are having the problem. I've installed this skin on my brother's mpx200 and my mother's mpx200 with no problems at all. Has it worked for ANYBODY else? |

Are you guys remembering to soft reset your phones after installing the skin and changing the registry? |

YeS! it work's... default.skn is a system file and hidden, so that's the problem... I've got properties plus , so i have scrabbed system file and hidden and copy to my device (motorola mpx200 wm2002 orginal) and he works. Ooow.. and I also changed the name default.skn in wmplayer.skn To see that default.skn is hidden and a system file click right on the file and go to optiones. |

In Windows Mobile 2002, the "default" windows media player skin is called wmplayer.skn and not default.skn. SO, for those users that are still having trouble, under the registry entries where "skin dir" is, select the entry for "skinfile" and change the value to "default.skn" (without the quotation marks of course). Let's see if that helps some users. |

I would say that I cannot see the file default.skn when i compress...So you have make this as a system file and it's hidden..I saw 3 files when I runned winzip.. I fixed this.. but when I restart the computer it's a hidden file again:S This post has been edited by mpx200_z: Jun 11 2005, 12:56 |
