Windows Media Player Skins

A few people have used the email address below to send encouragement and suggestions for my next skinning project for Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP). I've tried to write back to each person, but I've had to rescue a few from the Spam bucket - so I may have missed a some of you.

People seemed to love using Weeplayer since the footprint is so small. It was originally designed for people running high resolutions, but my own home computer runs at a very low resolution, so I wanted to try to make something smaller that would even keep out of the way, yet "always on top" at lower resolutions as well.

If you like my skins, please rate them at WMPlugins.com.

Microplayer is the second skin I have made - based largely on feedback I recieved from users of the original Weeplayer. Microplayer is designed to reside in the title bar of a maximized window near the upper-right corner of your screen.

Weeplayer is the first WMP skin I made. I spent a few hours one weekend reading the WMP SDK and figuring out how things worked. The rest was suprisingly easy. Weeplayer is designed for users who have high-resolution video cards. It has a large "Play/Pause" button so that it's easy to control music and audio streams even though the interface is so small.

Feel free to share your opinion of the skin by email.
