fourte3n Posted September 25, 2004 Author Share Posted September 25, 2004 Just going to use this registry setting for now! this is for WMP10 (you will need to change the red area for your own skin)EDIT: Edited to the correct format that is supplied below by simonsays.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Skins]"CurrentSkin"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Media Player\\Skins\\Snow-black.wmz""SkinX"=dword:00000021"SkinY"=dword:0000000cHope that helps someone...I got this info from the WMP9 thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10286&hl=** Also check below for the method of including it into your .THEME file (best way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1454471165-1580436667-854245398-1003...This key isn't common on all PCs, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Well, actually WMP skin is settable from the .theme that you use (C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 first, to use that regtweak you need to change the [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1454471165-1580436667-854245398-1003 value so...[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Skins]"CurrentSkin"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Media Player\\Skins\\Snow-black.wmz" ...and prathapml pointed the best option, simply specify a .theme file in your winnt.sif and include in the theme the wmp skin you preffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilweirddude Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 one question, where does the .wmz file go?or do you point it out in the [other]WindowsMediaPlayerSkin=Holiday.wmz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I think it is to be placed here:C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Skins\So therefore, 1. it is to be placed on the CD at:$OEM$\$Progs\Windows Media Player\Skins\2. Or, you can make an SFX archive to extract silently to "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\Skins\"Does it work now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilweirddude Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 ah, thanks but i have yet to try itwill report back later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
