WMP11 & Skining
Monday, May 22, 2006 by Pacific | Discussion: Skinning
had been itching to get my hands on WMP11 on XP, finally got it on wednesday.. 
im really impressed with what MS has done with WMP & URGE..
roamed around WMP & URGE for sometime when the skinner in me tookover..
i shouldnt have let him out(the skinner in me)...
both my skins (SleekMP XP & Morpheleon) are messed up in WMP11..
for sleekmp, the png's i had used are diplayed as blotches on the skin..
& somehow the png's work fine in morpheleon..
in both the skins colorinzing is completely broken..
any of you had similar problems or is it just me...
if its a universal problem, then i hope MS releases the new skin SDK soon...

ALX Vortex by TSF doesn't display properly...the shutter opens then 'closes' so the transport buttons are invisible...

yup... its a beta..
but last time around (wmp10) they didnt break such basic things as png support (implimentation is changed i guess) & colorization..
& they did come out with as SDK update soon afterwards..
but this time is been long time coming considering wmp11 has been in Vista betas for some time now..
& all that TSF talk about them(TSF) getting MS people to impliment pure alpha transperency throughout WMP skinning is a big no go in XP i think...

Most issues should be fixed when it goes Gold. I spoke to them about 4 months ago about this.

Good to hear, Jeff ....it'd be a shame/disaster to have to give up those ALX skins, etc....
