    Is there a WMP 11 skin for WMP 12?


    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 Basic Networking Information

    Here is a tutorial that may be of interest to you also Windows Media Player - Re-Design an Existing Complex WMP Skin

    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.

    You need to use a resource hacker of some kind.
    Look at this tutorial Icons - Change Using Resource Hacker it shows how to change icons in imageres.dll but it the same with any .dll

    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

    All I know is that I'd gladly pay for a way to use XP's WMP10 on my Win7 machine....
