How to create Media Player skins

[Guest scott2eyes]

This is a guide I've put together explaining how to create Media Player skins.

It is a part of a guide to using and customising the MPx200 (and other Smartphones- I've only tested it on the MPx200 though) which I've been putting together, which should hopefully be in a state fit for public consumption within the next week or two.

In the attachment is a Word document explaining how Skins work and walking through the creation of a custom skin, as well as the files for the customs skin I've made.

Please note that I've done this as an exercise in technical writing rather than to display any skills (or rather lack of...) in graphic design or programming- so any advice, corrections or general feedback would be welcome!

Cool. Better than trawling through the code and figuring it out the hard way. Nice work.

Now online.

(Took longer than I thought because I'm learning HTML as I go along, and when you want to post chunks of code to be viewed on a page, the HTML gets a little... fiddly!)
