I have searched all over the internet for it, and couldn't find it.
Is there a WMP 11 skin for WMP 12?
If there is, links would be appreciated.
If there isn't, how might I make one, or have someone else make one?
Thanks.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.

The skin should look like

Also, I've thought about it some more; I guess by making it a WMP skin file type would make it so the window couldn't be resized. It might have to be a patch of some sort; a program that replaces some of WMP 12's files to have the feel of WMP 11 but the functionality of 12.
If this isn't possible; the idea in general, I will have to downgrade to 11.

Welcome to the Seven Forums

Here is a link to the resources for a skin WMP 12 Resources by ~Legacy-Code on deviantART
There are also many skins available at deviantart.com

If you are using 64-bit the wmploc.dll is in both C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64

To properly change a system file you need to take ownership give yourself permission and rename the old file(Keeping it in place so if you have to go back you still have a good copy) and then copy in the new one look at Post #6 of this thread will tell you how to do it http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/179502-basic-networking-information.html#post1525656

Here is a tutorial that may be of interest to you also http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ayer-re-design-existing-complex-wmp-skin.html

This helps.
I am trying to replace those files with the ones in WMP 11, but it's not allowing me to change the contents of wmploc.dll. I am using 7Zip to browse/edit the files in the dll, but I can't copy any files into it. Is there a way around that, or is there a program that can perform those actions?
Edit: both dlls are owned by my user.
Thanks.

Nope, replacing the files just corrupts WMP.
I guess downgrading is the best way to go at the moment.
If anyone finds a program that makes WMP 12 look like WMP 11, let me know.

My WMP skin is very similar to what you seek (disregard the background, I use a background changer, you could change it to whatever you like). If you like it I will attach the wmploc.dll

Let me know when you have it and I'll delete the file as I don't want to use up that much storage. I can always upload it again for you or anyone.

Thanks, I have downloaded it and I will now try to install it. Wish me luck!

Hi I'm new to sevenforums how do I download the attached file? I know it's a very old post, but I'd like to use that skin too.

Welcome to Seven Forums Vistangel. I am attaching the file in a zip. If you get a message saying that the file has a version number other then what was expected, follow the instructions on the link to change it so it will work. Note you must change the dll in both C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 as Bongo mentioned in post#3 of this thread.

Thanks for the download link. But I don't know how to replace the files. It says something like "you need permission to do this". I tried "take ownership" registry key but it doesn't work. It still needs permission.
