WMP minimize to taskbar
Wednesday, May 19, 2004 by Satans Child | Discussion: Skinning
Is there anyway to change the default WMP skin when it's minimized to the taskbar? I would like to change it but don't have a clue where to start.

The 'No' was in regards to the 'Chicken Grease'..... 
...you'd have to do a hack to change the minimized Taskbar version of WMP...it's not something I'd recommend.
.....feel more informed now?

it can be done.... 
theres a DLL file called wmploc.dll in windows/system32 folder...
this file contains all the UI releated resources of WMP...
so to change the look of the minimised wmp u will need to hack this dll...
to do this u will need the software called reshacker...
with this u will have to hunt inside of the DLL & change whatever resources u want...
before u attempt any of this make a backup of the dll...
hope this helps...

Thanks for the info but I'm not really comfortable "hacking" anything on my PC. I'd rather just deal with the original and have it work, than totally screw everything up.

Looks promising but alas .... no reply from the creator in almost what .... two months. I know somethings aren't easy to do and take a while. I'll keep an eye on that thread though, thank you.
