Is there anywhere that gives the specs for how to make a Windows Mobile 5/Windows Media Player 10 skin? I want to make my own skin, but since I don't know what I'm editing, I'm having some trouble.

I want to make a skin for my 2125 that just shows title, artist, & time in large text, along with some small buttons. Basically an iPod SCREEN, but I don't need to show the click-wheel - just the screen.

Thanks for your help.
