C550 Window Media Player skins

[Guest sarge1s]

Hi, does anyone know how to install Windows media player skins on a C550. It seems that no matter where I put them, WMP only finds the default one when you go into the skin chooser.

cheers

All right, in the absence of help from the 21 people who viewed this (useless lot ; ) ), I've figured it out myself. It appears that the WMP skins I was trying to use had some important info missing in the .skn file. See below:

I removed the top line from the new .skn file, which read:

[Pocket WMP Skin File v1.0]

then pasted the following extract from default.skn into the top of the file, previously there was no [Description] section and the top line was different.

[Pocket WMP Skin File v9.0.1]

[ Description ]

//

// ------ -----

Dimensions 240, 320 131

//

// -------------

Orientation Portrait

then pasted the modded file back onto the C550. Went into the skin chooser in SMP and a quick swish of the joystick and there it was. Just FYI, the new skin is installed in the following path on my phone:

\Storage\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media Player\skins\

the last chunk of the path, I created myself.

So, hopefully this'll help a few people out there if you've encountered similar problems.

Right, I'm going back to hide in the shadows again.....byeeee
