Making a WMP9 Skin Work in WMP10

[Guest nedge2k]

Those of you with WMP10 may have noticed that none of the old WMP9 skins work in WMP10 :( Well there's a simple fix for this:

First you need to change the top line to read

[Pocket WMP Skin File v9.0.1]

Then you need to add a description (no need to edit this)

[ Description ]

Dimensions  176, 220 96

Orientation Portrait

Then between and [buttons] you need to define how the [AlbumArt] is shown

[ AlbumArt ]4,36,168,105

The finished product should look somehting like this

[Pocket WMP Skin File v9.0.1][ Description ]

Dimensions  176, 220 96
