Guest gijsdvm Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 In WMP on my C550 i can choose skin, but offcourse i only have the original skin. Why cant i find WMP skins for my phone anywhere? Does anybody know how this works?
Guest gijsdvm Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 okay now i found some, but in what map should i place them?
Guest Dop3KinG Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) May i please ask you where you found them ? Edited January 23, 2006 by Dop3KinG
Guest w411y Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 I've just made a Homer Simpson skin to go along with my Homer Simpson theme in the download section of this site. You place them in ... '\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player'

Guest gijsdvm Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) I found WMP skins here on Airfagev . Now i want to install some. Who knows what i should do? Edited March 4, 2006 by gijsdvm
Guest mini_man Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 Place them in the directory, \Storage\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\Skins and just make folders with the skins in them Try it with this WMP Skin, its an ipod. ipod_skin.zip
Guest gijsdvm Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 Im going to try it right now. Before this i read somewhere to put it in Storage/Application Data/Microsoft/Media Player and not in a subfolder called Skins, but that didnt work so now im going to try your way, hope it works.
Guest gijsdvm Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 Hey it works!! Thanks a lot, the skin is nice.. Where did you find it?? I'd like some others if possible..

Guest mini_man Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 Editing bits of it simple, its all simply layed out so everything is in one place. //  <Item>    <Location>   <Align>  <Font>      <Color> //  ------    ----------   -------  ------      -------  Time     39,84,25,15   Right   Tahoma,8,R    49,60,114  Track#    34,21,20,15   Right   Tahoma,8,R    49,60,114  #Tracks   67,21,20,15   Left   Tahoma,8,R    49,60,114  Title    40,34,160,15   Center  Tahoma,8,B    49,60,114  Author    40,49,160,15   Center  Tahoma,8,B    49,60,114 Its simple, each "Item" has a set of Co-ordinates,Fonts,Colours and Alignments. I think the Co-ordinates work like this "The first two numbers are coordinates and the last two numbers are dimensions" The Fonts are simply the Fonts and what formatting it is e.g B=Bold, R=Regular (I think) I=Italic. Im not sure about how the colours workout though. For more information on designing a skin check out this website http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=1855&catid=90&catid=90
Guest mini_man Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 Sorry mods for the constant posting but I dont think these posts should all combine as it will be too long. Any way I found WMP skins here on Airfagev . Now i want to install some. Who knows what i should do? I read it properly now and had a look at the code and the templates. These are designed for non QVGA devices, so will not work properly at all with the C550's QVGA screen.
Guest gijsdvm Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks im trying this on some Skins from deviantart.
Guest mini_man Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 awesome, tell me how you get on when your finished.
Guest w411y Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 I made a Homer Simpson one for my Homer Simpson homescreen.... I posted it in the thread of the download. I know Jamma14s in the middle of making some too. Theres also a tutorial on how to make them here (although the tut is for non QVGA, the same rules apply) http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=1855
Guest mini_man Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 For more information on designing a skin check out this website http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=1855&catid=90&catid=90 Yeh i mentioned that guide earlier, I think ill make one soon.
Guest gijsdvm Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 I think it's weird there are so few WMP Skins available, when i see they can be made by people themselves.. Why does nobody make them??? I dont make them because i dont have so much time, but there must be people out there that want to try that guide...
Guest gijsdvm Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 I think the Co-ordinates work like this "The first two numbers are coordinates and the last two numbers are dimensions" Yep thats right Mini_man
Guest mini_man Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 there are tons of skins out there, just type in wmp ppc skins into google and the list wont end.
Guest w411y Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 He's using C550 not PPC mini_man The first 2 are co-ordinates of the top left of the button area. While the next 2 are sizes of the button area. Found quite a few over at Nectun in C600 Skins Section
Guest mini_man Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 I know, neither am i look at the code post again Ill quickly show everyone out there how to get a PPC WMP skin running on a Smartphone if dragging and dropping things will not work. Here is the original code which can be opened/edited/saved in notepad. **** Please note that you are editing the .skn file***** Im saying they can be used on a SP
Guest gijsdvm Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Okay, but why does no site have Smartphone specific WMP skins?
