Question about making skins
Thursday, May 22, 2003 by BabalonRose | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi. I'm new to the boards. I'm wondering if there is a "skin-builder" anywhere here to make your own skins for Window Media Player. For example, Neoplanet has a pdf file as well as a template you can download which gives you step-by-step information on how to create your own skins for Neoplanet. Is there such a thing for Windows media Player? Thanks.

oh duh....dang sorry....There is an SDK for building your own skins, describing graphics, js files, etc. There is no program which automatically puts it all together for you the the Winamp skin builder.

Nope, if there was It wouldn't be SKINNING....
WMP is one of the few where you still have to write the raw code with your bare hands!
The only things you need is
-paint
-notepad
now paint isn't really the best program but.....

Perfect! Thanks, Chris! I don't have broadband, Werewolf, but thanks for the link anyway.
Also, I just DLed SnIco Editor. It looks good--is there a better one out there?

I don't know. Microangelo is a commercial icon editor. I've heard of a couple others, some that are freeware and some that are not, but I don't recall the names. Maybe some one else knows?
